INTRODUCTION, 



INTRODUCTIOjST 



In presenting the initial number of the Gazetteer and Directory 
of Oswego County to the public, the Publisher desires to return hia 
sincere thanks to all who have so kindly assisted in obtaining the valu- 
able information which it contains, and without whose aid it would 
have been impossible to have collected in the brief space of time in 
which it is essential that all such works should be compiled. When it 
is known that time, equal to more than three years' labor if done by 
one man, has been devoted to the canvass, it is believed the patrons 
of the work will willingly excuse the delay beyond the time it was 
expected the work would be issued. 

The advertisers in this work represent the leading business men 
of the county, and we most cheerfully commend them all to the pat- 
ronage of those under whose observation these pages may come. 

The usual amount of close application— ceaseless care and mental 
labor necessarily given to this intricate and complicated part of book- 
making, has been bestowed upon the present volume ; and though it 
is hoped that none will find an error worth complaining of, yet, should 
there be, remember that nothing is jJerfect — that it is human to err, 
while it is a sublime prerogative iof&rgive

BAROMETERS. 



Leech Barometer.— Take an 

eight ounce phial; and put in it three gills 
of water, and place in it a healthy leech, 
changing the water in summer once a 
week and in winter once in a fortnight, 
and it will most accurately proijnosticate 
the weather. If the weather is to be fine, 
the leech lies motionless at the bottom of 
the gla'^s and coiled together in a spiral 
form; if rain may be expected it will creep 
up to the top of its lodgings and remain 
there till the weather is settled; if we are 
to have wind, it will move through its hab- 
itation wittiamazing swiftness, and selduni 
goes to rest till it begins to blow hard; if 
aremarkible storm of thunder and rain 
is to succeed, it will lodge for some days 
before almost continually out of the water, 
and discover great uneasiness in violent 
throes and convulsive-like motion?; in 
frost as in clear summer-like weather it 
lies constantly at the bottom; and in snow 
as in rainy weather it pitches its dwelling 
in the very mouth of the phial. The top 
should be covered over with a piece of 
muslin. 



The Chemical Barometer. 

—Take a long narro w bottle, such as an old- 
fashioned Eau-de-Cologne bottle, and put 
into it two and a half drachms of camphor, 
and eleven drachms of spirits of wine; 
when the camphor is dissolved, which it 
will readily do by slight agitation add the 
following mixture: Take water, nine 
drachms; nitrate of potash (saltpetre) 
thirty-eight grains; and muriate of am- 
monia (sal ammonian) thirty-eight grains. 
Dissolve these salts in the water prior to 
mixing with the camphorated spirit; then 
shake the wholv well together. Cork the 
bottle well, and wax the top, but after- 
wards make a very small aperture in the 
cork with a red-hot needle. The bottle may 
then be hung up, or placed in any station- 
ary position. By observing the different 
appearances which the materials assume, 
as the weather changes, it becomes an ex- 
cellent prognosticator of a coming^ storm 
or of a sunny sky.

MISCELLANEOUS. 



Brilliant Whltewash.-Many 

have heard cf the brilliant etucco white- 
wash oa the east end of the President's 
honee at Waehlneton. The following is a 
rsceip. for it ; it Is gleaned from The Na- 
tional Intelligencer, with some additional 
Improvements learned by experiments 
Take half a bushel of nice unslacked 
lime, slack it with boiling water, cover it 
during the process to keep in the steam. 
Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or 
strainer, and add to it a pBck of salt, pre- 
viously well dissolved in warm water; 
three pounds of ground rice, boiled to a | 
thin paste, and stirred in boiling hot; half 
a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, 
and a pound of clean glue, which has been 
previously dissolved by soaking it well 
and then hanging it over a slow fire, in a 
small kettle within a large one filled with 
water. Add five gallons of hot water to 
the mixture, etir it well, and let it stand a 
few days covered from the dirt. 

It should be put on right hot; for this 
purpose it can be kept in a kettle on a 
portable furnace. It is said that about a 
pint of this mixture will cover a square 
yard upon the outside of a house if prop- 
erly appliad Brushes more or less may 
be used according to the neatness of the 
Job required. It answers as well as oil 
paint for wood, brick or stone, and is 
cheaper. It retains it brilliancy for many 
years. There is nothing of the kind that 
will compare with it, either for inside or 
outside walls. 

Colouring matter may be put in and 
made of any shade you like. Spanish 
brown stirred in will make red pink, more 
or less deep according to the quantity. A 
delicate tinge of this is very pretty, for in- 
side walls. Finely pulverised common 
clay, well mixed with Spanish brown, 
make a reddish stone color. Yellow-ochre 
stirred in makes yellow wash, but chrome 
goes further, and makes a color generally 
esteemed prettier. In all these cases the 
darkness of the shades of course is deter- 
mined by the quantity of coloring used. 
It is difficult to make rules, because tastes 
are different. It would be best to try ex- 

Eeriments on a shingle and let it dry. We 
ave been told that green muBt not be 
mixed with lime. The lime destroys the 
color, and the color has an effect on the 
whitewash, which makes it crack and 
peel. When walls have been badly smoked 
and you wish to have them a clean white, 
it is well to squeeze indigo plentifully 
through a bag into the water you use, be- 



fore It is stirred in the whole mixture. If 
a larger quantity than five gallons be want- 
ed, the same proportion should be observ- 
ed. 

How to get a Horse out of a 

Fire.— The great difficulty of getting 
horses from a stable where surrounding 
buildings are in a stute of conflagration, 
is well known. The plan of covering their 
eyes with a blanket will not always suc- 
ceed. 

A gentleman whose horses have been in 
great peril from such a cause, having tried 
in vain to save them, hit upon the expe- 
dient of having them harnessed as though 
going to their usual work, when, to his 
astonishment, they were led from the sta- 
ble without difficulty. 

How to Judge a Horse.-A 

correspondent, '"ontrary to old maxims, 
undertflki 3 to judge the character of a 
hoi' li by outward appearances, and offers 
the following suggestions, the result of his 
close observation and long experience : 

If the color be light sorrell, or chestnut, 
hii feet, legs and face white, these are 
marks of kindness. If he is broad and 
full between the eyes, he may be depended 
on as a horse of good nense, and capable 
of being trained to anything. 

As respects such horses, the more kindly 
you treat them the better you will be treat- 
ed in return. Nor will a horse of this des- 
cription stand a whip, if well fed. 

It' you want a safe horse, avoid one that 
is dish-faced He may be so far gentle as 
not to scare; but he will have too much go- 
ahead in him to be safe with everybody. 

If you want a fool but a horse of great 
bottom, get a deep bay, with not a white 
hair about him. If his face is a little 
dished, so much the worse. Let no man 
ride such a horse that is not an adept in 
riding— they are always tricky and unsafe. 

If you want one that will never give 
out, never buy a large, overgrown one. 

A black horse cannot stand heat, nor a 
white one cold. 

If you want a gentle horse, get one with 
more or less white about the head; the 
more the better. Many persons suppose 
the parti-colored horses belonging to the 
circuses, shows, &c., are selected for their 
oddity. But the selections thus made are 
on account of their great docility and gen- 
tleness.

OSWEG-O COUNTY. 



This County was formed from Oneida and Onondaga, March 1, 
1816. Its name wns derived from the Indian On-ti-ah-an-taque. The 
early French explorers called it " Chonaquen.'''' The portion lyiuo- 
east of Osvveijjo River was taken from Oneida, and that lying west from 
Onondaga. It is situated upon the southeast extremity of Lake On- 
tario, centrally distant 135 miles from Albany, and contains an area of 
1,038 square milts. Its surface is generally level or gently undulating. 
A series of bluff's 20 to 40 feet high, border immediately upon the 
lake ; and from their tops the land stretches out in long and gradual 
slopes, occasionally broken by the valleys of the river courses. The 
general inclination is northerly, as indicated by the drainage, though 
the summits of the ridges within half a mile of the lake have about the 
same altitude as those upon the south border of the county. A low 
ridge extending in an easterly and westerly direction, from three to 
five miles north of Oneida Lake, forms the watershed between Lakes 
Ontario and Oneida. In the east part of the county this ridge turns 
northward and unites with the system of highlands which separates 
Lake Ontario and the valley of Black River. The highest point of this 
range, in the town of Redfleld, is 1,200 to 1,500 feet above tide. 

Tlie rocks of this county consist of the Lorraine shales, in the ex- 
treme north part, on the lake ; the gray sandstone, extending from the 
northeast corner to near the center, its southern limits being marked 
by a line drawn due east fi'om Oswego River, about one mile from its 
mouth ; the Medina or red sandstone, bordering on the last, and com- 
prising more than one-third of the county ; and the Clinton group of 
shales, slate and sandstone, occupying the extreme south border. 
These rocks are exposed only in the northeast part and along the river 
courses, being generally covered with a thick mass of drift and alluvial 
deposits, consisting of sands, gravel and clay. The gray sandstone is 
hard and compact, and is little affected by the action of the elements • 
hence the disintegration is slight, and the soil upon it is thin and 
poor. The Lorraine shales are easily disintegrated, and form the basis 
of the strongest and richest soils in the county. The red sandstone 
crops out on the banks of all the streams which flow through the region 
which it occupies. It is extensively quarried for stone, though it is 
more easily acted upon by the elements than the gray sandstone. 
Weak brine springs are found associated with this red sandstone 
throughout the county. The Clinton group, occupying the entire south 
border, consists of parallel layers or beds of shale and red and gray sand- 
stone. This is the same geological formation in which is found the 
principal iron ore beds of Penn. and Oneida county ; and throughout 
the formation in this County iron ore is found.

OSWEGO COUNTY. 



The drainage of the west and south parts of the county is principally 
through Oswego River, and of the north and east portions through Sal- 
mon River, and a great number of smaller streams that flow directly 
into the lake. Oswego River is formed by the junction of Seneca and 
Oneida Rivers at Three River Point. It is 23 miles in length, and falls 
128 feet in its course, in several distinct falls, each of which furnishes 
an excellent water-power. Oneida River, forming the outlet of Oneida 
Lake, 18 miles in length, falls about 121s feet in its course, Salmon 
River and other streams flowing into the east extremity of the lake, all 
have successions of rapids and cascades, which furnish to that portion 
of the county an abundance of water-power. The principal bodies of 
water are Lakes Ontario and Oneida. The former constituting the 
northwest boundary, presents an almost unbroken coast lino for a dis- 
tance of 40 miles within the limits of the county. Little Sandy Pond, 
in tlie town of Sandy Creek, is the only considerable indentation. The 
mouth of Oswego Kiver furnishes a valuable harbor, the only one of 
importance in the county. Oneida Lake, constituting a portion of the 
south boundary, according to the report of the State Geologists, is 141 -i 
feet above Jjake Ontario — (Joseph E. Bloomficld, Civil Engineer of this 
county, who has made several surveys through this region, makes the 
hight of Oneida Lake 124 feet above Lake Ontario.) It is one link in 
the chain of the internal water communication of the State. A con- 
siderable portion ol the land in its immediate vicinity is marshy. Iron 
ore beds and a tine <[uartz sand, used in the manufacture of glass, are 
found upon its north shores. The soil found in the shale and sand- 
stone region has already l)een noticed. The drift and alluvial deposits 
which cover the greater portion of the county, furnish a great variety of 
soil. The sandy portions are light and weak, while the clayey portions 
are hard, tough, and unyielding in many places. Where these arc 
mixed, a rich, deep soil is the result. Along the cast border of the 
coimty are great quantities of limestone boulders, which essentially 
modify the soil of that region. 

The marshes are generally composed of beds of black muck and other 
vegetable matter, and form the richest kind of natural meadow when 
drained and cultivated. Agriculture, manufactures and commerce about 
equally engage the attention of the people. Stock raising and dairying 
are the principal branches of agriculture ; spring grains and wool are 
also extensively produced. 

The first settlers of the county were principally engaged in the manu- 
facture of lumber and potash. Wheat was once a staple production ; 
but since the commencement of the ravages of the midge, it has given 
placu to the coarser grains. The commerce is mostly concentrated at 
Oswego City, and is carried on by means of the lake, the Oswego Ca- 
nal, and Oswego and Syracuse and Rome and Oswego Railroads. The 
manufactures consist of flour, lumber, barrels, starch, and a variety of 
other articles. The amount of flour annually manufactured is greater 
than in any other county in the State. The principal mills are at Os- 
wego City, Fulton and vicinity. 

The Oswego Canal, connecting Lake Ontario with the Erie Canal at 
Syracuse, is 38 miles long, and for most of the distance is formed by 
slackwater navigation of Oswego River. Oneida Lake and River also 
form a part of the internal navigable waters of the State, connecting 
with the Oswego Canal at Three River Point, and with the Erie Canal 

at Higginsville. 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 19 

Tlie Oswego and Syracuse Railroad connects "with the New York 
Central Raih'oad at Syracuse. Tlie Rome, Watertown and Ogdens- 
burgh Raih-oad enters the county in the northeast corner, and passes 
tlu'ough Sandy Creek, Richland, Albion and Williamstown. The 
Rome and Oswego R. R., completed last fall, extends from its western 
terminus in the City of Oswego — through Scriba, New Haven, Mexico 
and Richland, a distance of 29 miles, and intersects the Rome, AVater- 
town and Ogdensburgh R. R, at Richland Junction. The latter rail- 
road company have leased the Rome and Oswego Road, and the two 
roads are under one management, with Addison Day, Esq., an experi- 
enced railroad manager, at its head. 

During the past year, many leading men here and along the 
proposed route have interested themselves in the enterprise, and 
prospects are now favorable for the early building of the Midland 
Railroad — a Trunk Road, to have its northern terminus on the east side 
of the river ut Oswego City, and extending southerly through Fulton 
and Phoenix to Syracuse, thence through Onondaga, Madison, Che- 
nango, Sullivan, Delaware counties, &c., to New York City, forming 
almost an air line — and the shortest route to the metropolis. Meetings 
have been held in nearly all the towns of those counties. By vote of 
the people, the towns and cities have agreed te bond themselves to 
large amounts, so that the building of the road seems now to 
be only a question of time and location. Another grand improve- 
ment, though located in another part of the State, is yet much 
needed to promote the interests of Oswego county, namely — the 
Niagara Ship Canal. When these two great avenues of travel and com- 
merce shall have been completed, Oswego will have but just com- 
menced her career of growth and prosperity. Her population will rap- 
idly increase, capital will be attracted by the extra facilities for busi- 
ness, induced by the increased facilities for transportation. 

A most important auxiliary in promoting the substantial growth and 
permanence of our industrial, scientific, moral or religious institutions, 
is the county Press, without which no enterprise seems to succeed. Al- 
though that Press has done, and is doing, a great work for society, in a 
sphere where no metropolitan journals can compete with it, it is too 
often left to languish unsupported, owing to the fact that men do not 
appreciate its great importance until the very moment when they " have 
an axe to grind " on the editorial grindstone. 

The following briefly recounts the history of newspapers in Oswego 
county : 

The American Farmer, the first newspaper of the county, was issued 
at Oswego some time before 1807. It was not published long. The 
Oswego Gazette, was started at Oswego in 18JY, by A. Buckingham, and 
continued two years. The Oswego Palladium, was commenced by 
,Tohn H. Lord and Dorephus Abby, in 1810, It subsequently passed 
into the hands of Mr. Lord, and was continued by him until 18C0. — 
John Carpenter then.became the proprietor, and changed its name to 
the Oswego Palladiicm and Republican Chronicle, and continued it 
until 1845, when it was sold to B. Brockway, who again changed it to 
the Osivego Palladium. In 1851 he transferred it to a coinpan}', by 
whom it was sold in 1853 to Dudley Farling, who sold his interest in 
July, 1854, to T. P. Ottaway, who again sold to S. H. Parker & Co., 
Oct. 1863, by whom it was continued until March 16, 1866, when it 
was pvirchased by 0. Morrison & Co., the present publishers. The 



20 OSWEGO COUNTY. 

Osivego PaZZat^itira lias been issued in connection witli the weekly since 
1850, with the exception of the interval between May, 1861 and Octo- 
ber, 1863. 

The Oswego Republican was established March 22d, 1825, by Wm. 
W. Abbey. In 1827 it passed into the hands of Samuel Osgood, and 
was issued a short time as the Oswego Gazette and Advertiser. In 
1828 it was sold to Wm. C. Shope, who published it as the Osivego Ad- 
vertiser until 1829. It then passed into the hands of the late Dr. Bur- 
dell, of Cunningham notoriety, who changed its name to the Freeman's 
Herald, and continued it one year. It was then suspended for two 
years, and revived in 1832 by John Q. Adams, by whom it was pub- 
lished as the National Republican one jea.r, and was then discontinued. 
The Oswego Democratic Gazette Vf as pnhWshed a short time in 1830 by 
James Cochran. The Oswego Free Press was published by Kichard 
Oliphant from 1830 to 1834, and by George G. Foster, as the Oswego 
Democrat, until 1835, when it was discontinued. The Oszcego Observer 
was started in February, 1835, by Bailey & Hawks, and continued until 
the latter part of 1836. The Commercial Herald was published at Os- 
wego by Hull & Henry, from 1837 until 1843. The Ostvego Patriot 
was published at Oswego during the Patriot War of 1838-39, by John 
Bunner and John Cochrane, of the 35th and 36th Congress, from the 
Sixth District (City of New York.) The Oswego County Wliig was 
founded in 1838 by Richard Oliphant, and sold to DanielAyer in 1844. 
In 1847 C. D. Brigham became proprietor, and changed its name to the 
Osivego Commercial Times. In November, 1848, James N. Brown 
became the publisher, and in February, 1854, he was succeeded by 
Winchester & Ferguson, by whom the Oswego Journcd was purchased 
and united with it, and the combined paper was issued as the Weekly 
Times and Journal. In 1857 it was changed to the Oswego 2'im.es, and 
published by J. Tarbell, by whom it was continued until 1860, and 
then transferred back to James N. Brown, under the name of the Os- 
wego Comrnercial Times, by whom it was continued until May, 1865, 
when it was sold to T. S. Brigham, and merged in the Oswego Com- 
mercial Advertiser and Times. 

The Oswego Commercial Advertiser (Daily and Weekly,) was estab- 
lished by T. S. Brigham, on the first of February, 1864, and published 
until May, 1865, when the daily was consolidated with the Daily 
Tiines, since which it has been published by the founder of the Adver- 
tiser, under the name of the Oswego Daily Commercial Advertiser and 
Times. 

The Oswego Daily Advertiser, the first Daily in the county, was 
issued in 1839, in connection with the Wliig, and was continued until 
1847, when its name was changed to the Oswego Daily Commercial 
Times, by Daniel Ayer. 

The People's Journal was started at Oswego in March, 1849, by 
O'Leary & Dean, and the next year it was sold to L. A. Winchester. 
In 1851 it passed into the hands of Sumner & Poucher, who started the 
Oswego Daily Neivs in connection with it. The following year L. A. 
Winchester again became proprietor, and changed the name of the 
Daily to the Oswego Daily Journal. In 1854 the two papers were 
united with the Daily and Weekly Times. 

The Pulaski Banner was commenced in April, 1830, and published 
by Nathan Randall until 1832 ; by A. A. Mathewson and G. G. Foster, 
until 1833; and by James Gedd, until 1834, when it was suspended. 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 21 

In 1836, it again appeared as the PulasH Advocate, and was published 
by Daniel Ayer until 1838. It was then sold to Mr, Dickinson, and 
united with the Port Ontario Aurora, the united papers taking the 
name of the Advocate and Aurora. The name Aurora was dropped 
in 1840, when the Advocate again passed into the hands of Daniel Ayer, 
and was discontinued in 1842. The Pulaski Courier was started in 
1843, by W. Winans. In 1847 it passed into the hands of A. A. 
Mathewson, and was changed to the Richland Courier. In 1850 it 
was sold to Joseph Hatch, who changed its title to the Pulaski Demo- 
crat. In 1856 it passed into the hands of S. C. Miller, its present pub- 
lisher. 

The Oswego County Democrat was started at Mexico, in 1838, by 
Thomas Messenger ; it was afterwards styled the Messenger, and was 
discontinued in 1839. The Mexico Indejundent was established in 
1861, by Humphries & Scarret, and is now published by Henry Hum- 
phries. The Phcenix Gazette, started at Phoenix in 1851, was publish- 
ed by Jerome Duke, and afterwards by George E. Williams until 1858, 
when it was removed to Fulton. The Phcenix Democrat was established 
in 1852, by an association ; in 1854 it was sold to James H. Field, and 
the next year he gave it the name of the Phcenix Banner, in 1855 it 
was published a short time as the A7nerican Banner and Oswego Coun- 
ty Times. It was suspended in 1855, and in 1856 it was revived by 
Mary Francis Tucker, and called the American Banner and Literary 
Gem. Eight months afterwards it was sold to Levi Merrill, by whom 
it was published as The American Banner. After being suspended 
two months, it Avas revived under the title of the Phcenix Reporter, by 
Joshua Williams. It is now owned and edited by M. M. Carter, and 
published by L. T. & L. B. Bennett. 

The first newspaper published in Fulton, was the Fulton Chronicle, 
by Thomas Johnson. In 1840 it was purchased by Edwin Thompson 
and Isaac S. Clark, who gave it the name of the Ben Franklin. It was 
succeeded by the Weekly Dispatch, conducted by E. C. Hatten. The 
Dispatch was continued but about one yeai*. In 1841, N. B. Northrop 
commenced the publication of a paper called the Fulton Sun ; it was 
united with the Mirror the next year. The Falton Mirror was estab- 
lished August 20th, 1842, by Daniel Ay res, but after uniting with the 
Sun, was published as the Sun and Mirror by .Spencer Monroe, for a 
few months. It was succeeded by the Fulton Patriot, under the man- 
agement of M. C. Hough. John A. Place, T. S. Brigham, and R. K. 
Sanford, were successively interested in its publication. In 1853, Geo. 
E. Williams established The Oswego County Gazette, and the same 
was published by him until about 1858, when it was united with the 
Patriot, taking the name of the Fulton Patriot and Gazette. In 1860 
a paper was published for a few months called the Democratic Union. 
The Patriot and Gazette passed into the hands of Rodney L. Adams, 
by whom it was published about two years, and in the fall of 1865 was 
purchased by Bennett Bros., by whom it is now published. 

This county is divided into two jury districts, eastern and western — 
the former comprising the towns of Albion, Amboy, Constantia, Has- 
tings, Mexico, New Haven, Orwell, Parish, Redfield, Richland, Sandy 
Creek, West Monroe and Williamstown ; and the latter, the towns of 
Granby, Hannibal, Oswego, Palermo, Schrosppel, Scriba, Yolney, and 
the City of Oswego, the courts being held respectively at Pulaski Vil- 
lage and Oswego City. Parley Keyes and Ethel Bronson, of Jefferson 



county, and Stephen Bates, of Ontario, were appointed commissioners 
to locate the county seats and select the sites for the county buildings. 
The first county officers, appointed by the Governor and Council, were 
Barnet Mooney, First Jadge ; Henry Williams, Smith Dunlap, Peter 
D. Hugunin, David Easton and Daniel Hawks, Jr., Judges and Jus- 
tices ; Edmund Hawks, Judge ; Elias Brewster, Surrogate ; James 
Adams, County Clerk ; and John S. Davis, Sheriff'. The first courts 
were held in school houses from the organization of the county, in 3 81G, 
until 1820-21, when a brick building, including a court house and jail, 
was erected at Pulaski, and a wood court house at Oswego, about the 
same time. The city soon outgrew the first court house, and the courts 
for many years were held in the City Hall, and afterward in Mead's 
Hall, on East Bridge street. The old court house for several years was 
used as a school house ; but a few years since it was removed, and con- 
verted into a Sunday School Chapel for the Church of the Evangelists, 
where about five hundred children receive religious instruction. 

In 1858 the Board of Supervisors authorized the raising and appro- 
priated $30,000 for the erection of a new court house in the citj', on 
the east Public Square. This splendid building, constructed of Onon- 
daga limestone, was completed in 1860. 

A stone jail was erected in the city in 1850, and a fire-proof county 
clerk's ofiice in 1851. Previous to this time, the clerk's office v/askept 
alternately in private houses, at each of the shire towns, for periods of 
three years, the books being carried ))ack and forth at the end of each 
period. 

The County Poor House is located upon a farm of sixty acres, in the 
town of Mexico. It is an old building, and is poorly adapted to its 
purpose. An asylum for insane paupers was constructed a few years 
since, adjacent to the Poor House. The Oswego Orphan Asylum, 
located at Oswego City, is in part a county institution. All the chil- 
dren of the inmates of the Poor House between the ages of four and six 
years, are supported at the Orphan Asylum, at the county expense. 

The portion of the county of Oswego lying near tho river, was dis- 
covered in 1654, by French Jesuits, under Father Le Moine, who 
established missions here for the conversion of the Iroquois. There is 
a tradition that the French established a military post at the mouth of 
the river, at a very early period, but research among the papers of that 
period, does not corroborate the statement. The French had previously 
explored the St. Lawrence, and in 1G15, Champlain, in an expedition 
against the Onondagas, passed through the east part of the county. In 
1 700 the English explored the country occupied by the Five Nations, 
as far west as Oswego, and in 1722 a trading house was built here un- 
der the direction of the New York Colonial Government. From that 
period considerable trade was carried on by the English, between Os- 
wego and Albany, through Oswego River, Oneida PJvor and Lake, 
Wood Creek, and the Mohawk. 

There were several portages on this route, — around the falls in the 
streams, and across from Wood Creek to the Mohawk. In 1727 the 
English built a fort on the west bank of the river, near its mouth ; not 
a single trace of this fortification now remains. The French, claiming 
this whole tprritor_y, remonstrated against the action of the English, 
and several times planned expeditions to destroy the fortifications, but 
did not carry them into eff^ect. Upon the commencement of the " Old 
French War," of 1753, Fort Ontario was erected on the east bank of 



OSWEGO COUNTY.

the river, and another fort was built in 1755, upon the summit of the 
west ridge, at the present junction of West Sixth and Van Buren 
streets. In the summer of 1756, about 5,000 French, and a few In- 
dians, under Montcalm, with a heavy train of artillery, consisting of 
thirty guns of large caliber, crossed the lake from Fort Frontenac, (now 
Kingston), and appeared before this place. The forts were invested 
Aug. 11th, and after three days hard fighting, they were surrendered on 
the 14th. The French had landed at Henderson, Jefferson county, and 
marched along the lake shore under cover of their naval force. The 
English garrison numbered nearly 2,000 men. Col. Mercer, the Eng- 
lish commander, was killed by a cannon shot the second day of the 
siege. The victors demolished the forts, burned the English vessels, 
and retired. In 1758, Col. Bradstreet, with 3,350 men, crossed the 
lake from this place and reduced Fort Frontenac. After destroying the 
fortitications, and securing the military stores and vessels, he returned 
to Oswego and reljuilt the forts there. Fort Ontario was greatly en- 
larged, and built in the most substantial manner. 

In the summer of 1760, the powerful army of Lord Amherst embark- 
ed here on an expedition down the St. Lawrence. From this time, Os- 
wego became the most important military station upon the western 
frontier. During the Revolution, it was strongly garrisoned, and form- 
ed the headquarters of many of the marauding parties that desolated the 
frontier settlements. It continued in the possession of the British un- 
til June 1796, when it was surrendered under the provisions of Jay's 
treaty, to Lieut. Vischer, with fifty United States troops. 

In 1790, George Scriba, a merchant of New York City, and a German 
by birth, purchased 500,000 acres of land lying between I^akes Oneida 
and Ontario, for the sum of $80,000. This purchase, known as " Scri- 
ba's Patent," was bounded on the east by Fish Creek, and on the west 
by Oswego River, and embraced fourteen towns in Oswego County and 
four in Oneida. In this grant the State made reservations of the terri- 
tory at the mouth of the river, within the limits of the City of Oswego, 
and also at the falls in the Village of Fulton, Most of these reserva- 
tions were disposed of at public sale in 1827. At an earlier date, con- 
siderable tracts in Scriba's Patent, on Oswego River, were jointly pur- 
chased by Gen. Alexander Hamilton, John Lawrence and John B. 
Church. Several other grants were also made along the river. Other 
tracts of considerable magnitude were purchased by Schrceppel, Rose- 
velt and others 

In 1794 Mr Scriba caused a settlement to be made and a saw mill 
built on the shore of Oneida Lake, to which he gave the name of " Rot- 
terdam,''' now Constantia. In 1795 he built a grist-mill— the first in 
the county,— and several other buildings at the same place. 

During the same year his patent was surveyed and divided into lots. 
(This survey and subdivision was made by Benjamin Wright, who, in 
1793-94, ran the base line from Rome to Fort Ontario, on which the 
towns of Scriba's Patent were laid out. The townships of Scriba's Pa- 
tent, like those of Macomb's Purchase, received names from the pro- 
prietors that are known only in deeds.) About the same time he com- 
menced a settlement at the mouth of Little Salmon Creek, on the shore 
of Lake Ontario, twelve miles northeast of Oswego, which he called 
' 'Vera Cruz,'" (now Texas). He here built a saw and grist mill, store 
and other buildings, and commenced an active trade on the lakes, and 
for some years the place bid fair to become a formidable rival of Oswe- 



24 OSWEGO COUNTY. 

go, and the most important commercial station on the lakes. A few 
other settlements were made at other points in the county, 
princij^ally under the auspices of Mr. Scriba, previous to 1800, but im- 
migration did not begin to tiow in rapidly until a few years later. The 
lands of Mr. Scriba were divided and sold to a great number of differ- 
ent parties, and while his exertions and expenditures were of great ser- 
vice to the first settlers, they proved extremely unprofitable to himself. 
At the time of the purchase, Mr. Scriba's fortune was estimated at 
$1,500,000, but the whole of it became swallowed up in his efforts to 
promote the interests of the infant settlements ; and he died Aug. 14, 
1836, at the age of eighty-four, a poor man. In common with all the 
frontier settlements, the growth of this region was seriously retarded 
by the war of 1812. Oswego Village became the theatre of stirring 
military events, and on the 5th of May, 1814, it was taken by the Brit- 
ish, — a more detailed account of which the reader will find under head 
of "Oswego City." 

The opening of the Erie aud Oswego Canals, in this State, and of the 
Welland Canal, in Canada, greatly increased the commercial impor- 
tance of the city, and stimulated the manufacturing interests through- 
out the county. 

The following in regard to the military movements from Oswego 
Count}', during the late war for the Union, we copy from a record kept 
by Henry L. Davis, Esq., then Secretary of the Military Committee, in 
the 21st Senatorial District : 

April 15 — The President of the United States called for 75,000 men 
to put down the rebellion in the Southern States. May 3, the Presi- 
dent also called for 82,748 men, consisting of 42,034 volunteers, to serve 
for a period of three years unless sooner discharged, and to be muster- 
ed into service as infantry and cavalry. Also 22,714 officers and en- 
listed men, to serve in the regular army. Also 18,000 seamen, (see 
copy of proclamation in appendix to Adjutant General's report to Leg- 
islature State of New York, 1862.) 

On these calls the State of New York furnished thirty-eight regi- 
ments, or .30,000 men. The county of Oswego organized and sent for- 
ward at once, the 24th Regiment, N. Y, S. V., under Col. Timothy Sul- 
livan. This regiment left Oswego in detachments, commencing April 
— , 1861, and after having served two years, were mustered out at El- 
mira. May 29, 1863. 

In the fall of 1861, Alderman John McAmbley commenced raising a 
new regiment, and on the 20th January, 1862, the 81st Regiment N. Y. 
S. v., started for the depot at Albany, and March 5th, 1862, started for 
the seat of war, under Col. Edwin Rose, 1,025 men. 

July 2, 1863 — The President made a call, on the recommendation of 
the Governors of the Northern States, for 300,000 men. 

Aug. 4, 1862 — The exigencies of the government required, and the 
Secretary of War, by direction of the President, directed a draft for 
300,000 men immediately. These men to be militia nnd nine months 
men ; a government bounty of $25 to be paid in advance. This made 
600,000 men wanted, and the quota of Oswego county on these two 
calls, were 2,348. This quota was based on a population in this county, 
hy the census of 1860, of 75,958 persons. The county furnished 2,409 
men on these calls, being an excess of sixty-one men. (See Adjutant 
General's report for 1863, page 1,156 ) 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 25 

On the 5th of July, 1862, Grov. Morgan appointed the Military Com- 
mittees of the several Senatorial Districts of the State. In the 21st 
Senatorial District, said committee consisted of Hon. Elias Root, Chair- 
man, and Messrs. Hon. D. C. Littlejohn, D. G. Fort, Hon. Henry Fitz- 
hugh, Delos DeWolf. Hon. Enoch B. Talcott, Hon. Richard K. San'ord, 
to which were subsequently added the Hon. Abner C. Mattoon. Benj. 
E. Bowen, Willard Johnson, Albert F. Smith, Thomas Kingsford, and 
Cheney Ames. Henry L. Davis, Clerk of the City of Oswego, was ap- 
pointed Secretar}'. Enlistments were at once commenced, and public 
meetings were held throughout the county. The result was, the orga- 
nization of the 110th Regiment N. Y. S. V., Col. DeWitt C. Littlejohn, 
and the 1-tTth Regiment N. Y. S. V., Col. Andrew S. Warner. 

The former left for the seat of war Aug. 27, and the latter Sept. 27, 
1862. Aljout the same time, the 12th Regiment N. Y. Cavalry, under 
Capt. John Ward Gasper, and the 21st N. Y. Battery, under Cajjt. 
James Barnes, went as Oswego county regiments, besides large num- 
bers of men sent into other regiments. 

About the 12th July, 1863, the following circular was received by 
Provost Marshal Addison L. Scott, at Oswego :

*NoTE,— The 24th and following Bnb-dlstricts were in Madison county.— Publishek. 

Accordingly, on the 4th day of August, 1863, the draft commenced 
at the City of Oswego, and was continued daily until the whole num- 
ber, 3,102 men were drawn. 



OSWEGO COUNTY.

It will be understood that from various excuses, many persons 
drawn were afterwards exempted from duty. The following is the re- 
sult of the draft. The tigures are totals for the 22d district: Ex- 
empted for physical disability, 763. Only sou of widow, 118. Only 
son of infirm parents, IIG. Election, 42. Only brother, 4. Father of 
motherless children, 24, Two men in service, 39. Felony, 2. In ser- 
vice, March 3, 1863, 37. Aliens, 206. Over 45yearsof age,'l8. Over 35 
and married, 205. Under 20 years, 85. Non-residents, 125. Com- 
muted for $300, 768. Substitutes furnished, 125. Held for service, 
92. Not reported, 334. Of this number 27 substitutes and 16 
drafted men, subsequently deserted ; so that this draft resulted in 
furnishing the Government 174 men and $230,400 in currency. 

Oct. 17, 1863 — The President called for 300,000 more men, and Feb. 
1st, 1864, he made an additional call for 200,000, and March 14, of 
the same year, he called for 200,000 more, making in all, 700,000 men 
to be raised forthwith. The quota of Oswego county on these three 
calls, was 3,341 men, and there were furnished 3,561 men. 

June 15, 1864 — The President called for 100,000 three months men 
to repel the invasion of Pennsylvania. New York City furnished the 
State's share of this force, Oswego furnished none. 

July 18, 1864— The President called for 500,000 men for one year. 
The Military Committee again went to work and raised in Oswego 
county, the I84th Regiment, Col. Wardwell G. Robinson, detach- 
ments of which left for Elmira, commencing Sept. 5th, 1864. They 
also furnished a large number of men for the 12th Cavalry, under Col. 
Wm. C. Raulston, formerly of the 81st Regiment. The quota under 
this call, for the county, was 1,425 men, deducting a surplus of 220 
men we had under former calls, we had to furnish 1,205 men, but sent 
forward 1,245 men, a surplus of forty men. 

Dec. 19, 1864— The President called for 500,000 more men, and the 
quota of the county, after deducting the excess furnished under the call 
of July 18, was 1,142. Of these there were furnished 881 men. Events 
which soon after transpired, made it evident to all that no more men 
would be needed. 

Diu'ing the war, many men from this county straggled into other 
localities, and being enlisted, were credited elsewhere, so that all told, 
Oswego county sent 12,500 to the war, out of a population of less than 
76,000 ; an excess of about 5,000 men, over her entire quota for 
"the war." 

After four years of fearful war ; after one of the greatest struggles 
the world ever knew ; success crowned both right and might, deciding 
that " This Union is one and inseparable,''^ and that freedom and uni- 
versal liberty belong to all who dwell in this great country — where 
good and bad, the great or poor, and oppressed of every land, find shel- 
ter and a home. 

Peace, smiling peace ! returned to bless us, and those who outlived 
the great fight, returned home, their breasts filled with rapture, for it 
was their day of hope and pride; but ah, how many did ?2o< return ! 
Peace did not bring joy to the hearts bowed down with grief for the 
loved and lost. Theirs was a noble sacrifice, and will ever be remem- 
bered as such by a grateful country. O, may the differences now ex- 
isting between the people of our country be speedily adjusted ; and may 
we all again become a united and happy people ; and may each State 



28 OSWEGO COUNTY. 

once more become a •' bright particular star" in the coronet of this un- 
equaled nation; and in time of peace or war, in time of trouble or 
prosperity, ever defend 

'' That banner with the proud device, Excelsior." 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 



Albion was taken from Richland, March 24, 1825. It is an interior 
town, lying east of the center of the county. Its surface is level or 
gently undulating. The summits of the ridges are 50 to 100 feet above 
the valleys, and the highest point in town is 392 feet above Lake On- 
tario. The low lands are wet, and in some places marshy. Salmon 
River, so called from the great numbers of salmon formerly found in its 
waters, flows through the north part. In the northeast part are two or 
three small ponds. The soil consists of deposits of sand and gravel, 
and is of medium quality. Drift deposits cover the Avhole surface, ex- 
cept along the river courses, where the underlying rocks crop out. — 
Much of the south part of the town is yet unsettled. Large quantities 
of lumber, lath and barrels are manufactured in town — the latter for 
the Onondaga salt and Oswego flour markets. Sand Bank, on Salmon 
River, is a station on the R. VV. & 0. R. R., midway between Water- 
town and Rome. It contains several stores, with shops, &c. Pincville, 
(Salmon River post ofiBce), a station on the railroad, situated on Salmon 
River, a short distance below Sand Bank — is a village of some manufac- 
turing interests. Neiv Centreville, a station ou the railroad, Dugway 
and South Albion, are hamlets. Settlement was commenced in 1812, by 
Gary Burdic, of Williamstown, on lot 39, and Peter Henderson, at Sand 
Bank. In 1813, David, Luther and Benj. Lilly, and Allen McClarn, set- 
tled in the town. The first birth was that of a son of Luther Lilly, in 
1813 ; the first marriage, that of Henry Baker and Lucy Burdic. in 
1819 ; and the first death that of a son of Luther Lilly, in 181.3. The 
first inn was kept by Dr. Brace, at Sand Bank, in 1814 ; and Ihe first 
store by Ammi Hinkley, in 1828. The Lilly Brothers, built the first 
saw mill in 1813, and Ezekiel Smith the first grist mill, in 1818. The 
first school was taugVtby Svlvia Breed, in the summer of 1817. Popu- 
lation of town in 1865, 3,33b'. No. of voters, 599. Area, 25,305| acres. 

Amboy was formed from Williamstown, March 25, 1830. Its name 
was proposed by Frederick Andrews. It lies ujjon the east border of 
the county, south of the center. The surface is rolling, and has a gen- 
eral southerly inclination. Its highest point is about 450 feet above 
Lake Ontario. Its principal streams are Fish Creek and other small 
tributaries of Oneida Lake. In the south and west parts are numerous 
small lakes and ponds, the principal of which are Panther Lake, North 
and South Ponds. The north half of the town is in the region of the 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 29 

gray sandstone, and the south half that of the red or Medina sandstone. 
The soil is principally a sandy or gravelly loam. West Amhoy contains 
1 church, (Union), 1 school house, 1 hotel, 4 stores, 1 tannery and 37 
houses, Amboy Center^ contains 2 churches, (Methodist Episcopal and 
Baptist), 1 school house, 1 hotel, 3 stores and 20 houses. Carterville, 
located in the southeastern part, derives its name from Robert G. Car- 
ter, through whose enterprise, mainly, it owes its existence. Besides 
a sawmill and grist mill, Mr. Carter carries on quite an extensive tanning 
business at this place, requiring the use of about 10,000 hides, and 2,000 
cords of bark per year. There are in his tannery 68 lay way and 20 hand- 
ler's vats. Barrels are the great staple of the town, nearly every house 
having a cooper shop attached. The peeling of bark has also proved a 
profitable employment to the inhabitants, who find a ready market at 
the neighboring tanneries. Farming has been too much neglected. 
The tannery at West Amboy, at present under the supervision of F. 
M. Berry, was established in 1850, by Young & Cromwell, who, in 
1857, sold their interest to the present proprietor, Mr. Henry J. Brooks. 
It has since been enlarged to twice its former capacity. The hides are 
received from New York, to the amount of 22,000 per year, all of which 
are manufactured into sole leather, and gives cmjjloyment to thirty 
men. There are in the tannery 125 layway and 55 handler's vats. 
5,000 cords of bark and 1,200 cords of wood are consumed annually. 
The works are driven by a 35 horse-power engine. New York is the 
market for the leather. 

Amboy sent 184 men to the war during the late rebellion of the 
Southern States, and paid them $18,021.66 in bounties. 

Joseph Perkins was the first settler, in 1805 ; the same year ke built 
the first inn. Among the early settlers were David Smith, in 1815 ; 
"William and Isaac Claxton, and John Drought, in 1818 ; and Sage Park 
in 1821. The ilrst saw mill was built in 1822 by Jabez Durphy, and 
the first grist mill by Sage Park, in 1828. The first school was taught 
by Cynthia Stoddard, in the summer of 1823. The first male child 
born was Edmund Durfee, in consequence of which he afterward inher- 
ited fifty acres of land from Wm. Short. The first death was that of 
Joseph Perkins. Population of the town in 1865, was 1,423, No. of 
voters, 356. Area, 24,397^ acres. 

Boylston was formed from Orwell, Feb. 7, 1828. It was named 
from Thos. Boylston, who held, for a few hours, the title of a tract since 
known as the Boylston Purchase. He never owned the tract ; the con- 
sequence was simply a trust, and it quickly passed into other hands. It 
lies upon the north border of the county, east of the c( nter. Its sur- 
face is rolling in the center and east, and moderately hilly in the west 
It has a westerly inclination, and its highest points are 700 to 800 feet 
above tide. The soil in the north and west parts is a productive, grav- 
elly loam, the underlying rock being the Lorraine shale. The south- 
east corner of the town extends into the gray limestone region, and the 
soil is light and thin. Boylston, (post office) is in the northwest part. 
The first settlement was made in 1810, on lots two and three, by John 
"Wort and Michael Sweetman, both from Canajoharie. David Webb 
also came in the same year, II. Streeter in 1814, and Peter and Samuel 
"Wells in 1815. The first birth was that of Phebe Ann Wood ; the first 
marriage, that of Samuel Wells and Elizabeth Gordon ; and the first 
death, that of an infant child of Mi". Ward. Reuben Snyder built the 



30 OSWEGO COUNTY. 

first saw mill, in 1823. The first school was taught by Polly Allport, 
in 1817. Population of the town in 1865, 060. No. of voters, 220. 
Area, 22,865 acres. 

Constantia, named by the proprietor, Geo. Scriba, was formed 
from Mexico, April 8, 1808. Hastings was taken off in 1825, and West 
Monroe in 1839. It lies upon the north shore of Oneida Lake in the 
southeast corner of the county. The surface is nearly level, and is 
slightly inclined towards the south. The principal streams are Scriba 
and Black Creeks, flowin<T into Oneida Lake. Iron ore is fovuid in the 
Clinton group of rocks which extend through the south part. The 
soil consists of clay, gravel, sand and vegetable mould, and in general 
is fertile. 

A large part of the interior is yet unsettled. Frenchman's Island, in 
Oneida Lake, about four miles from Constantia, belongs to this town. 
It contains alaout twenty-eight acres. During the French Revolution 
of 1793, when the French nobilit}^ were compelled to seek safety in 
Hight, and the trains of exiles to this country were crowded with dukes 
and princes of the blood, the Count St. Hilary, a young Frenchman, and 
his beautiful and accomplished wife, a daughter of the noble house of 
Clermont, landed upon our shores. Following the trail of emigration 
westward, they reached Oneida Lake, then on the great thoroughfare of 
travel, and, attracted by the beautiful island and its primitive forests, 
they landed upon it, and concluded to make it their future home. — 
Here, in the deep solitude of nature, they enjoyed, for many months, 
perfect peace and quietude. Their place of residence was at length 
discovered by Chancellor Livingston, who had formerly enjoyed the 
elegant hospitalities of the lady's family at Paris. He visited them in 
their rural home, and, after spending a short time with them, he pre- 
vailed upon them to return with him to his mansion upon the Hudson. 
There they continued to reside until Bonaparte had put an end to the 
reigiT of terror, and restored much of the confiscated property to the 
exiles of the Revolution, when they returned to France. Several years 
after, as Livingston stood upon the banks of the Seine, amidst a crowd 
of distinguished Parisians, to witness the first experiment of Robert 
Fulton in steam navigation, he was recognized by the Count, who at 
once took him to his residence, and treated him duringhis stay at Paris, 
as a generous benefactor and an honored guest. Livingston's mansion 
upon the Hudson, and the first steamboat of Fulton and Livingston, 
were both named, in honor of the lady's family, " Clermont." Lumber, 
leather and glass, are extensivel}'- manufactured in town. Cleveland, 
incorporated April 15, 1857, is located on Oneida Lake, in the southeast 
part of the town. It contains two glass factories, several stores, mills, 
shops, &c. Constantia, in the west part, on Oneida Lake, is noted 
chiefly lor its tannery and lumber interest. 

BernliarcVs Bay, on the lake, contains a glass factory, and about 160 
inhabitants. Constantia Center, P. O., and Oayville, are hamlets. 
Soon after the purchase of Scriba's Patent, in 1790, Mr. Scriba com- 
menced the first settlement of his lands at Constantia, and established 
agents and laborers there in 1793. Solomon Waring, John Lynch and 
Dr. Vandercamp, settled in town in 1793, and John Bernhard in 1795. 
The first birth was that of George Waring, April 11, 1796. The first 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 31 

store was built by Major Waring. In 1794-95, Mr. Scriba erected in 
this town the first saw mill and grist mill built in the county. The 
first school was opened in 1797, at Constantia. Population of the town 
in 1865 was 3,517. No. of voters, 810. Area, 34,821 acres. 

Granby was formed from Hannibal, April 20, 1818. A part of Os- 
wego was taken off in 1836. It lies on the west bank of Oswego River, 
in the southwest part of the county. The surface is gently rolling, with 
a slight inclination to the northeast. Oswego River flows through a 
valley from thirty to sixty feet below the general level of the town ; 
within this town it has a fall of forty feet. Lake Nea-tah-wan-ta, 
(signifying, '' The little lake near the great lake"), near the center of the 
east part, covers an area of 800 acres. It lies about twenty-five feet 
above the river at the head of the falls. The streams are Ox Creek, 
Six Mile Creek, and the outlet of Lake Nea-tah-wan-ta. The soil is 
generally a sandy or gravelly loam. Bradstrect's, or Battle Island, (so 
called from the circumstance of a battle having been fought upon it be- 
tween the English, under Col. Bradstreet, and the French, with their 
Indian allies, in ] 756), is in Oswego River, about four miles below Os- 
wego Falls. Leather, lumber and the products of wood are extensively 
manufactured. Oswego Falls, (P. V.), incorporated Oct. 12, 1853, a 
station on the Oswego and Syracuse Railroad, is situated on Oswego 
River, opposite the village of Fulton. Just above the upper bridge are 
situated two very large factories, one of them is used for the manufac- 
ture of knit goods, and the other for fancy woolens, cassimeres, 
&c. Both are owned by the same firm, and employ quite an army of 
operatives. At the foot of Lake Nea-tah-wan-ta. a little west of the 
village, lies one of the finest jjeat beds on the continent — discovered a 
year or two since, after partially draining the lake for the benefit of 
the surrounding farms. A company have jjurchased the lands and 
erected suitable buildings and machinery for preparing the peat. The 
machinery is of a novel kind, but recently patented, runs by steam, and 
prepares the material J)y grinding — or, jDerhaps, masticating it would be 
the better term — and moulding it into convenient form, and runs it into 
the dry house on cars, where it is prejjared for use as condensed fuel. 

The State has erected a stone dam at the Falls the past season, which, 
for durability, will undoubtedly prove equal to any similar State work. 
The water-powers, both here and at Fulton, as well as at Oswego, are 
among the finest in the world. The banks on both sides might be 
lined for miles with mills, and all be amply supplied with power. This 
village also contains the grounds of the Oswego Falls Agricultural So- 
ciety. Granhy Center, (P. 0.), tiouth Granhy, (P. O.), Bowen's Cor- 
nrrs, (P. 0.), Dextervillc and West Granhy, are hamlets. The first 
settlement was made at the Falls in 1792, by Lawrence Van Valkan- 
burgh, from Stillwater, in the present county of Saratoga, N. Y. Hen- 
ry Bush settled in town in 1793 ; Penoyer in 1794 ; John Van Buren, 
Jr., with his sons Peter, John, Jacob and Valkert, in 179G ; Peter Hu- 
gunin in 1803 ; Barnet Morrey in 1804 ; and John Hutchinson in 1808. 
The first store was opened in 1792, by an Indian trader by the name of 
Olcott, and the first inn was kept by John J. VValrod, in 1807. The 
first saw mill was built by Schenck & Wilson, in 1814, and the first 
grist mill in 1822. Benj. Jlobinson taught the first school in 1812.— 
Population of the town of Granby in 18G5, 3,956. No. of voters, 897. 
Area, 30,032| acres. 



32 OSWEGO COUNTY. 



XZannibal was formed from Lysander, as a part of Onondaga Co., 
Feb. 28, 1806, and embraced all that part of Oswego county lying west 
of the river. Oswego and Granby were taken off in 1818. It is the 
southwest corner town of the county. Its surface is gently undulating, 
the ridges being thirty to fifty feet above the vallej^s. In the east part 
are several swamps, one of which covers about 500 acres. The soil is a 
rich, sandy and gravelly loam. A salt spring, from which salt has been 
manufactured, is found in the northwest corner. Sj^rings of brine, char- 
acteristic of the Medina sandstone strata, have been discovered in sev- 
eral other localities, but none of sufficient strength to render their 
working profitable. The principal manufacturing establishments are 
those of lumber, leather and the products of wood. Hannibal, on 
Nine Mile Creek, a little west of the center of the town, was incorpo- 
rated April 16, 1865; and in that year contained a population of 470. 
Fair Dale is a post office and hamlet in the east part of the town. 
Hannibal Center and HulVs Corners, are small villages. Wliceler's 
Corners is a hamlet in the north part, and Kinnnfs Four Corners is a 
P. 0. Settlement was commenced in 1803 by Thomas Sprague and his 
sons, from Milton, Saratoga county. Watson Earl, Samuel Baron, Jo- 
seph Weed, Sterling Moore, David Wilson, and Israel Messenger, set- 
tled at Hannibal Center in 1805. The first birth was that of Carr 
Sprague, in 1805 ; the first marriage, that of Daniel Thomas and Pru- 
dence Sprague, in 1803 ; and the first death, that of a daughter of 
Thomas Sprague, in 1806. The first grist mill was built by Earl & 
Colton, in 1805; and the first saw mill, by Silas Crandell, in 1811. 
The first inn was kept by Henry Jennings, in 1808 ; the first store, by 
Benj. Phelps, in 1815 ; and the first school was taught in 1810. The 
first church, (Baptist), was organized in 1815. Population of the town 
in 1865, was 3,322. No. of voters, 827. Area, 27,129| acres. 

JSastingS was formed from Constantia, April 20, 1825. It lies upon 
the north shore of Oneida lliver, and in the south part of the county. 
Its surface is level or gently undulating, its northern boundary being 
about seventy-five feet above Oneida Lake. The soil is clay, sand and 
gravelly loam. In some parts of the town it is difficult to find fresh 
water by digging. Brine springs are found in several parts, in the red 
Medina sandstone formation. In the northeast part is a tamarack 
swamp, of about five acres, in the center of which is an immense spring 
ten feet in diameter. This spring is on a level with the surrounding 
summit, and it is surrounded by a deep, loose muck, which extends 
downwards to an unknown depth. Central Square is the largest vil- 
lage in the town ; population in 18B5, about 300. Hastings, in the 
north part ; Caughdenoy, on Oneida River, in the southwest part ; 
Hastings Center and Smith's Mills, (Mallory P. O.), are small villages. 
French Settlement is a hamlet. Brewerton is situated at the foot of 
Oneida Lake, on the site of old Fort Brewerton ; it is an incorpated 
village of considerable importance. The greater part of the village lies 
in Onondaga county. A little east of the fort ground is a sand bank, 
in which bones are found belonging to men over seven feet high. A 
mound at the east extremity of the bank is full of human bones, indi- 
cating the place of sepulture for thousands. The first settlement was 
made at Fort Brewerton, by Oliver Stevens, in 1789. Among the 
early settlers were Timothy Vickery, Chester Loomis, Solomon Allen 
and Jacob Rice. The first birth was that of John L. Stevens, in 1802 ;

the first marriage, that of Silas Bellows and Betsy Vickery, in 1808 ; 
and the first death, that of Horatio Stevens, in 1792. Chester Looniis 
kept the first inn in 1815 ; and Hastings Curtis, the first store, in 1820. 
The first school was taught by Patrick Vickery, at Caughdenoy. 
Population of the town in 1865, was 3,005. No. of voters, 758. Area, 
27,262i acres. 

ZMCexicO was formed from Whitestown, April 10, 1792, as a part of 
Herkimer county. Parts of Richland and New Haven were annexed 
May 9, 18.36. It included the northerly towns of Oneida county, nearly 
all of Lewis and Jefl'erson counties west of Black River, and all of Os- 
wego county east of Oswego River. Camden was taken off in 1799; 
Ch^unpion, Redfleld, Turin. Watcrtown, and Lowville in 1800 ; Adams 
in 1802 ; Lorraine and VVilliamstown in 1804; Volney in 1806; Con- 
stantia in 1808; New Haven in 1813, and Parish in 1828. Its surface 
is gently rolling. It is well watered by numerous small streams, the 
principal of which are Little Salmon and Sage Creeks. There is 
scarcely a foot of waste or broken land in the town. The underlying 
rock is gray sand-tone, covered deep with alluvial deposits. The soil 
consists of clay, s.ind, and gravelly loam, and is very productive. Con- 
siderable attention is given to stock raising and dairying. The manu- 
facture of leather, woolen, flour, lumber, barrels, and other products of 
wood, are quite extensively carried on. Mexico, near the center, was 
incorporated January 15, 1851, and contains several churches, an 
academy, several stores, a bank, printing oflQce, three hotels, grist mills, 
saw mills, a furnace, carriage factories, &c. The grounds of the 
Oswego County Agricultural Society are permanently located near the 
village. The Society ha^e erected a commodious building, stalls and 
pens, and in other respects made their grounds equal to first class. 
The County Poor House and Lunatic Asylum are also located on a 
firm near the village. It is an important station on the Rome and 
Oswego Railroad. Colosse, in the south-east part, and Texas, formerly 
called " Vera Cruz," located near the mouth of Little Salmon Creek, 
are small villages. Uidon Square, in the east part, and Frattville are 
hamlets. 

The names of the earliest settlers within the present limits of the 
town are lost There were about twenty-five who had already located 
in 1798 ; Jonathan Parkhurstand Nathaniel Rood, from Oneida county, 
came in that year. Phineas Davis arid Calvin Tiffany, from Connecti- 
cut, settled in 1799; John Morton and Asa Davis in 1801; Peleg 
Brown, Daniel Eames and Leonard Ames, in 1804: ; and Solomon Peck 
in 1805 The first birth was that of Truman Rood, August 10, 1799 ; 
and the first marriage that of Richard Gafford and Mrs. Rood, widow 
of N. Rood. The first grist and saw mill were built by Mr. Scriba's 
agent, and the first store was kept by Benjamin Wright. The first 
school was taught by Sanford Douglass, at Colosse, in 1806. By the 
upsetting of a boat upon the lake, in 1799, Capt. Geerman and six 
others were lost; and, in 1804, by a similar disaster, nine others; 
leaving but one male inhabitant, Benjamin Winch, in the settlement. 
Population of the town in 1865, 3,828 ; number of voters, 1,025 ; area, 
28,217 acres. 

ISffew ^avcn was formed from Mexico. April 2, 1813. A part 
was annexed to Mexico, May 9th, 1836. It lies upon the shore of 
Lake Ontario, west of the center of the county. The surface is rolling 
B 



34 OSWEGO COUNTY. 

and generally smooth. It is watered by Spring Brook, Catfish and 
Butterfly Creeks; three small streams flowing into Lake Ontario. 
There is quite an extensive marsh near the mouth of Butterfly Creek, 
in the north-east part of the town, and another in the south-west part. 
The underlying rock is gray sandstone, and the soil is principally a 
sandy and gravelly loam. Stock raising and dairying receive consider- 
able attention, and a limited amount of manufacturing is carried on. 
Apples are grown very extensively, and yield a large revenue to the 
farmers who grow them. 

New Haven is a small village, situated near the center of the town, 
on Catfish Creek. About one mile north of the village is a station on the 
Rome and Oswego Railroad. Butterfly is a post office near the east 
line of the town. 

The first settlement was inade by Rood and Doolittle, at 

New Haven, in 1798. Mr. Wright settled in the town in 1798; Solo- 
mon Smith in 1800 ; C. Drake and Capt. Gardner in 1804 ; David Enos, 
Joseph Bailey and James Jerret, in 1805 ; and Warner Drake in 1808. 
The first birth was that of John D. Smith, in February, 1805. The first 
saw mill was erected by Ira Foot, in 1805 ; and the first grist mill by 
Waldo Brayton, in 1809. Harriet Eason taught the first school, in 
the summer of 1806. The first church (Cong.) was organized at New 
Haven village in 1817 ; and Rev. Wm. Williams was the first minister. 
Population of the town in 18G5, 1,948 ; number of voters, 479. Area, 
19,013i acres. 

Orwell was formed from Richland, February 28, 1817 ; and Boyl- 
ston was taken off in 1828. A part of Richland was annexed, March 
27, 1844. It is an interior town, lying north-east of the center 
of the county. The surface has a south-westerly inclination, its 
east border being elevated 300 to 500 feet above its west, and 700 to 
1,000 feet above Lake Ontario. It is moderately hilly, and is consid- 
erably broken in places, by the deep ravines of the streams. Upon 
Salmon River, is a fall worthy of note. The stream flows over a rocky 
bed, in a series of rapids, for two miles, and then falls over a precipice 
1!0 feet perpendicular. The banks of the stream below the falls are 
200 feet high. The soil is generally a gravelly loam. Most of the 
east half of the town is yet uncultivated. Lumber and other products 
of wood are the leading articles manufactured. Stock raising and 
dairying are carried on to some extent. 

Orwell Corners, in the west part, is a small but thriving village. 
Pekin, (Molino P. 0.), is a hamlet in the south part. 

The first settlers were Nathaniel Bennett and his son Nathaniel, from 
Rensselaer county, N. Y., on lots 82 and 83 ; and Capt. Noyes, on lot 
29, in 180(j. Among the early settlers were Benjamin Reynolds, 
Joshua HoUis, Alden, Gilbert, and Timothy Balch. The first 
marriage was that of Robert Wooley and a daughter of Nathaniel 
Bennet, Sen., in 1807; and the first death that of the mother of Timo- 
thy Balch, in 1810, The first school was taught by Jesse Aiken, in 
1810. Joseph Watson built the first saw mill, in 1810: and Jonah 
Thompson the first grist mill, in 1816. Population of the town in 1865, 
1,427; number of voters, 840. Area, 25,882i acres.

Oswego City* formed from Oswego and Scriba, was incorporated 
as a village March 14, 1828, and was enlarged and organized as a city 
March 24, 1848. At the first village meeting, held May 13, 1828, Hon. 
Alvin Bronson was elected President, and Daniel Hugunin. Jr., Geo. 
Fisher, Nathaniel Vilas, Jr., David P. Brewster, Theophilus S. Morgan, 
Joseph Turner and Orlo Steele, Trustees. The first city officers, elected 
in April, 1848, were as follows : Mayor, James Piatt ; Aldermen, 
Hunter Crane, Gilbert Mollison, Stephen H. Latlirop, Robert Oliver, 
Geo. S. Alvord, John Boigeol, Samuel R. Taylor and William S. Mal- 
colm. The Council appointed J. M. T^asey City Clerl:. The city is 
situated ou Lake Ontario, at the mouth of Oswego River, that stream 
dividing the city into two nearlj^ equal parts. The river is bordered 
upon each side by a ridge, which rises in gradual slopes to a hight of 
about 100 feet, and ends in blufl's on the lake shore forty to fifty feet 
high. The summits of these ridges are about one mile apart, and de- 
scend from tlie river in the same gradual slopes as toward it. One 
mile west is a valley opening through the ridge into the river above the 
falls, through which the Oswego must have once fiowed into the lake. 
The south border of the city is skirted by a bluff or escarpment about 
160 feet above the lake, indicating an ancient lake or sea beach. Here 
commences the deep ravine excavated by the river through strata of red 
sandstone of the Medina group, and underlying shale. From this the 
geological induction is made that, at the last great physical change 
which elevated the country from the bed of an ancient ocean and 
brought the river into existence, it fell directly into Lake Ontario, at 
the escarpment, by a fall of moderate hight, the upward movement 
being gradual and intermittent. The pauses by which it was inter- 
rupted are marked by ancient beach lines, ridges and terraces, found at 
different bights above the lake. The Oswego Falls are now eleven feet 
high, and as they have receded south twelve miles, to the village of Ful- 
ton, with an ascending average grade of about nine feet per mile in the 
excavated bed of the river, they must have diminished in hight and 
grandeur from age to age during the whole period of recession. The 
aggregate fall of the river within the twelve miles, is 110 feet, of which 
thirty-four feet are within the limits of the city ; and the whole fall is 
so distributed by six successive dams, built by the State for canal and 
slackwater navigation, that the water of the river may be used by race- 
ways nearly the whole distance, affording one of the finest water powers 
in the world. The river forms the outlet to the eleven lakes which 
cluster in the basin of Central New York, and drains a wide extent of 
territory. These lakes form natural reservoirs, which prevent floods or 
undue exhaustion, the extreme elevation and depression of the river 
not exceeding three feet, so that destructive freshets, so common to 
great water power rivers, never occur. The mouth of the river admits 
vessels of the largest class navigating the lakes ; and the erection of 
piers and a light-house by the U. S. Government, renders it one of the 
safest and most accessible harbors on the lakes, susceptible of indefi- 
nite enlargement, and combining canal and railroad transportation with 
the advantages of position as the nearest lake port to tide water. A 
hydraulic canal, extending along both sides of the river is studded with 
mills, elevating warehouses and other manufacturing establishments. 
The city is handsomely laid out, with streets 100 feet wide, intersecting 
each other at right angles. The east and west banks of the river are 
connected by two bridges, built by the city, — the lower one an iron 



36 OSWEGO COUNTY. 

bridge, with a draw for the passage of vessels, on Bridge street, the 
upper one on Utica street. The principal public buildings are an edi- 
fice erected in 1856-Y by the U. S. Government, of Cleveland sand- 
stone and iron, and is entirely fire-proof. Its cost was about $120,000, 
it contains a custom house, post office, and United States court room. 
A city hall, which has recently been sold to the Oswego and Syracuse 
Railroad Company, but is still leased by the city, an elegant stone 
court house, jail, orphan asylum, city library, and about fifteen churches. 
The old city hospital and poos house being found inadequate, a new 
site has been purchased a few miles west of the city, in the town of Os- 
wego, being a farm of about 130 acres, formerly known as the " Vroo- 
man farm." A commodious brick building is now being added to the 
wooden one already there. 

The Orphan Asylum is situated upon the elevated ground in the 
south part of the city, commanding a fine view of the city, harbor and 
lake. It was founded in 1853, mainly by the efibrts of the ladies of Oswe- 
go, and continues to be principally supported by them. Orphans and 
children of destitute parents, from earliest infancy to 12 or 14 years of 
age are admitted and cared for, and afterwards placed out in respectable 
families. The asylum has at various times received aid from the 
State; usually $300 or $400 at a time. A graded and sabbath school 
are connected with the institution. The number of inmates ranges 
from fifty to an hundred. At present, not quite sixty. The annual 
election for officers is held at the Asylum on the second Tuesday in 
October, 

The City Library was founded by a donation of $25,000 from Hon. 
Gerrit Smith. The edifice, erected in 1856, is built of brick, and is 
92x52 feet, with a vestibule 15x16 feet, a basement nine feet high, with 
two stories above ground, having an aggregate hight of wall of thirty- 
six feet above the basement, is finely located upon the corner of East 
Second and Oneida streets About 5,000 volumes were supplied from 
the donation of Mr. Smith, and about the same number were purchased 
by the city, — a few hundred dollars being devoted to the purchase of 
additional books each year. The Smith portion of the Library is free 
to all who choose to spend their time in the building to read them ; but 
the city portion may be drawn out for perusal. The books of both 
libraries are classified and arranged as to the various subjects on which 
they treat, as Historical, Biographical, Poetical, Scientific, Miscella- 
neous, &c., &c. Besides the library, one alcove is employed as a reposi- 
tory for rare curiosities of various kinds. An excellent Librarian is 
daily in attendance. 

The Osweso Public Schools were organized under a Board of Edu- 
cation. The Board consists of eight members, who are elected by the 
people and retain their offices for two years. The Secretary holds his 
office during the pleasure of the Board, and is practically the Superin- 
tendent of the Public Schools, although he has few powers not derived 
directly from the Board. The Scho<'>l8 are divided into four distinct 
grades : Primary, Junior, Senior and High Schools. 

Of the Primary Schools there are tvelve, located in different parts 
of the city, convenient to the homes of the children. Of the Junior 
Schools there are four, located one in each ward of the city. There 
are two Senior Schools, one on each side of the river ; and one High 
School, including the whole city. For each grade is prescribed a thi;ee 
years' course of study ; making, from the time of entering the Primary 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 37 

School to the time of graduating at the High School, twelve years. In 
each grade are three classes, each class ' being exactly together in all 
their studies, with one teacher for every fifty pupils. Each class 
requires a year to complete the requisite course. Pupils are admitted 
in the Spring at five years of age and over ; but, not entering at that 
time, they are not permitted to enter during the year, unless six years 
of age and over, and prepared to enter some class already organized. 
The effect of this is to prevent the inconvenience arising from the 
formation of new classes during the year. Thus, at the close of the 
year, one class graduates from each school ; and, at the beginning of the 
year, a new class comes in ; and all the intermediate classes are advanced 
one year. By this arrangement the classification is kept perfect, each 
teacher having from forty to fifty pupils, exactly together in all their 
studies. The course of instruction is so defined that each teacher in 
every grade knows exactly how much is to be accomplished in each 
subject, each term and each year, throughout the entire course. For 
the first five years, the instruction is strictly oral, if we except the use 
of a spelling book the fourth and fifth years, and the introduction of a 
book in arithmetic the fifth year. This instruction is based on what is 
famiharly known as the "object method," and in conformhy to Pesta- 
lozzian principles. 

Aside from these regularly graded schools, there is an Unclassified 
School, designed for those pupils who, from various causes, cannot be 
properly accommodated in the other schools. Here the subjects or 
branches are accommodated to the wants of each individual pupil. 

The Arithmetic School is only taught in the winter, and is clesigned 
for those pupils who are so occupied in the summer as not to be able 
to attend school. The principal subjects taught are reading, writing 
and arithmetic. It opens about the first of December, and closes with 
March. 

The Evening School is for pupils who are employed during the day, 
and can only attend evenings. It is kept open about the same time as 
the Arithmetic School. 

The Oswego Normal and Training School was established to give 
teachers, not only a theoretical, but a practical knowledge of the most 
approved methods of teaching. In its Model and Practicing Schools 
every facility is aff'orded for observation and practice under the direc- 
tion of the most competent critics. There are two distinct depart- 
ments in the school : one for the training of teachers for the Primary 
and Common Schools of the State, and the other for the High Schools 
and Academies. In the courses preparatory to the Training Depart- 
ments, which latter are devoted exclusively to professional instruction, 
all the branches usually pursued in the common schools and academies 
are taught. The building is 153 feet front and 130 feet deep, and is 
capable of accommodating from 250 to 300 pupils in the Normal 
Department, and from 50O to 600 in the Model and Practicing Schools. 
It is located in a pleasant part of the city, and commands a fine view 
of the lake, harbor, the city and surrounding country. The most com- 
petent teachers have been employed in every department, and no effort 
will be spared to make it a school of a high order. . There is no charge 
for tuition or text books used in the School ; and, to all living in the 
State, the traveling expenses actually incurred in coming to the School 
will be refunded at the close of each term. The price of board is from 
$3.50 to $4.00 per week. Those desiring to board themselves can do

so, and thus very much reduce the cost of living. The year is divided 
into two terms of twenty weeks each. The Fall Term commences the 
second Wednesday in September, and the Spring Term the fourth 
Wednesday in February. 

Fort Ontario, situated on a bluff on the east side of the river, over- 
looking the harbor and lake, was first erected by the English at the 
commencement of the '• Old French War," in 1753. The earlier history 
of this Fortress will be found in the preceding pages. In 1839, Congress 
deemed it expedient to again rebuild this Fort. Accordingly, in August 
of that year, the War Department issued an order to Lieut. Leadbetter, 
then at Albany, directing him to commence the reconstruction of Fort 
Ontario immediately. The work was accordingly proceeded with, and 
completed in 1846. Kyanized wood was employed to form the slopes 
of the trenches and breastworks, filled in with heavy earthworks. On 
the breaking out of the Rebellion, the Fort was again considered but 
a poor defense against the arts of modern warfare. Plans and an 
appropriation were therefore made for the erection of a new fort on the 
site of the old works, The new Fort will be a regular pentagon in 
shape, constructed of solid masonry, seven and a half feet thick, 
and — if the original plan is carried out — twenty feet in hight. 
A subsequent plan was however made which contemplates re- 
ducing the originally proposed hight to fifteen feet, with the 
exception of the gateway front, which has already attained the 
hight (twenty feet) originally proposed. The work of reconstruction 
was commenced in 1863, since which time an annual appropriation of 
$50,000 has been made towards its completion. The work is under the 
able superintendence of CaiDt. J. A. Smith, of the Engineer Corps, and 
is being rapidly proceeded with. The scientific and substantial manner 
in which the work has so far been performed, proves Capt. Smith to be 
an officer of efficiency and ability in his profession, and " the right man 
in the right place." The foundation of the wall is laid to the hight of 
a few feet for the entire circumference, following the angles, being about 
half a mile. In the angle each side of the sally port is a set of three case- 
mates, with rifle galleries attached. These are most substantially built, 
and will render the trenches of Fort Ontario a dangerous position for 
an enemy. Casemates, or rifle galleries, are also to be built in each of 
the other angles of the Fortress. If the original plan is carried out, 
about ten years will be required to complete the works ; but if the 
newer plan is followed, five or six years will suffice for their completion. 
An excellent quarry, from which all the stone required for the worit is 
procured, is located on the government land, a little cast of the Fort. 
The post is at present garrisoned by Company E., Fourth Infantry, 
under Capt. C. H. Carlton, Brevet Lieut.-Colonel. During the past 
season, the Government has forwai'ded to this jjost three Rodman guns, 
of large caliber. They are sixteen feet long, twelve feet in circumfer- 
ence at the breech, weigh within a few pounds of twenty-five tons each, 
and carry 450 pound shot. In making excavations during the past 
summer, several cannon balls, of the weight of nine, twelve and 
eighteen pounds, and a piece of a shell, were taken from the remains of 
the original earthworks, where they have evidently lain since 1756,- — 
1 10 years ago. Several other relics of the original earthworks have also 
been exhumed. 

The commerce of Oswego is very extensive, and is increasing much 
more rapidly than the population. Being situated near the foot of lake 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 39 

navigation, and nearer to New York than any other lake port, it has com- 
mercial facilities superior to those of most of the western cities. A 
considerable share of the produce of the West flows through this port 
on its way to the seaboard markets, and it is the principal entrepot of 
the agricultural products of Canada West. The salt of Onondaga is 
mostly distributed through the Great West from this place ; and vast 
quantities of the manufactured goods of the East are sent through the 
same channel. 

The following are the lake imports at Oswego, of some of the princi- 
pal articles of trade in 1865 : 

Flour, bbls 32,550 Heading, pieces 1,890,146 

Wheat bu 6,275,919 Lath, No 7,072,389 

Corn, bu 2,481,006 Hoope 12,871300

Peas, bu 151,401 

The following table shows the amount of flour, grain and lumber, 
exported by canal and railroad during the same year : 

Canal. Bailroad. Total.

Lumber,ft 174,401,(60 3,869,460 178,270,520 

The manufacturing interests have attained to considerable magnitude, 
although the vast water power of Oswego River is occupied but to a 
limited extent. Flour made from the wheat of Canada and the Western 
States, forms the leading article of manufacture. The Oswego mills, 
sixteen in number, with an aggregate of seventy-five run of stone, are 
capable of grinding and packing 7,500 barrels of flour per day. 

Five of these mills are located on the harbor, and elevate their grain 
from lake vessels and discharge flour and grain into canal boats. Seven 
grain warehouses on the river elevate and discharge in the same way. 
The other mills, located above, elevate from and discharge into canal 
boats. The elevating capacity on this harbor is about 40,000 bushels 
per hour, and the storage room over 2,000,000 bushels of grain — ren- 
dering Oswego the best receiving port on the lakes. 

Oswego has the largest manufacturing establishment of its kind in 
the world, and j^et how few in Oswego or its vicinity have ever been 
inside its doors, interested themselves in its magnitude, or appreciated 
its great benetits to the city. We allude to the Oswego Starch Fac- 
tory, on the Varick canal. This extensive manufacturing establishment 
was organized under the General Law of the State of New York, in 
March, 1848, under the corporate name of The Oswego Stakch Fac- 
tory, and is located in the Third Ward of this city. 

The whole history of the manufacture of starch from Indian corn, is 
nearly all comprised within the brief period which has elapsed since 
this company was organized; and to the manufacturers in this establish- 
ment, Thomas Kingsford & Son, is Justly due the entire credit of invent- 
ing the process for making this beautiful and valuable article. 

Prior to 1842, the starch of commerce had been made from wheat 
and potatoes. In this year, T. Kingsford, who was then engaged in 
superintending the making of starch from wheat, instituted a series of 
experiments to ascertain whether starch could be made from Indian 
corn, that should equal, if not rival, that made from wheat. After a 
long course of arduous and unremitting perseverence, involving a pro- 
cess entirely distinct from that which had been known in the manufao- 



40 ' OSWEGO COUNTY. 

turing of starch from wheat, his labors were crowned with the most 
complete success. After he had prosecuted the business in this new 
mode, from this new material, on a comparatively small scale, for a time 
sufBcicntly long to insure the result beyond contingency, a number of 
gentlemen of Auburn, N. Y., associated with him, and in 1848 built a 
factory which at that time was considered of unusually large size and 
capacity, and constituted T. Kingsford & Son the manufacturers. The 
unequalled purity and excellence of this starch secured for it, within a 
few months after its introduction to the public, a high reputation, 
creating a demand beyond the capacity of the factory to supply, and 
the next year it became necessary to enlarge its capacity. 

Beyond that time the demand continued to increase, and the factory 
was again enlarged. The knowledge of its superiority, which, at the 
first, had been confined to comparatively narrow circles, had now 
reached to England and other remote places, creating a still increasing 
demand, which, in 1856, resvilted in the building of another factory, ex- 
ceeding in capacity the original one with all its additions. 

Since 1862 the work of improvement has still gone on in the factory 
with unabated vigor, and its capacity has been greatly increased. In 
1863-4, the manufacturers erected a stone building with iron frame, at 
a cost of $20!^, 000. It is filled with cisterns and a great variety of ma- 
chinery. The older buildings have been supported by iron frames and 
braces inside the wooden frames, thus rendering them more safe and 
capable of supporting the great weight they are subjected to. 

This mammoth establishment comprises a front of 510 feet, termina- 
ting at either extremity by a massive fire-proof wall, eighty-five feet 
high, to protect against fire from neighboring buildings, and extends 
back over the Oswego River 200 feet. It has 310,240 feet of flooring, 
or more than sufiicient to cover seven acres. The building is lighted 
in part by 158 sky -lights. It has 675 cisterns or vats, containing an 
ao-</regate capacity of 3 000,000 gallons, for the purpose of effectually 
cleansing the starch from all conceivable impurities. The length of gut- 
ters for conveying and distributing the starch to various parts of the 
fiictory, while suspended in water, is more than /our miles. There are 
fifty large force pumps, for the purpose of supplying the works with 
water, which, in the aggregate, are capable of raising to the top of the 
building 10,000 gallons of water per minute, 600,000 gallons per hour ; 
and, as a protection against fire, several of these pumps are so arranged 
as to be capable of forcing into the hose pipe 125,000 gallons per hour, 
and with sufficient force to throw eighteen streams of water over the 
top of the building, five stories high. They have their own fire com- 
pany, chosen from among their own workmen The pumps are worked 
by water power, and can readily be thrown into and out of gear, and 
have in connection with them, nearly 9, GOO feet of water pipe. 

For p;rinding the corn, there are twenty pair of burr stones, and six 
pair of large, heavy iron rollers. There are 10,700 feet, or more than 
two miles of shafting connected by 1,243 gear wheels. There are more 
than 55,800 feet or nearly eleven miles of steam pipes for drying the 
starch, and warming the establishment. The works are propelled by 
water, but, to avoid occasional interruptions, in very dry seasons, an 
engine of 150 horse power has been added. 

This establishment has the capacity to use 600,000 bushels of corn 
annually, and to produce 6,000 tons of starch, (equaling twenty tons 
per day) requiring 3,000 tons of coal to dry it and heat the buildings,

and has furnished steady employment for 500 operatives, directly and 
indirectly, from its commencement. To pack this amount of starch 
160,000 pounds of wrapping paper are required, and 3,500,000 feet of 
lumber, and 70,000 pounds of nails for boxes. The average amount 
annually paid for lumber, exclusive of that used for boxes is about 
$25,000. For the single item of railroad freight on manufactured 
starch between this city and New York, alone, between $30,000 and 
$40,000 are paid annually. 

For generating the steam for heating and drying purposes, three large 
tubular boilers are used, each containing ninety-six 3-inch flues, length 
of boilers, sixteen feet, and in the aggregate equal to 300 horse power. 
In 1857, T. Kingsford & Son erected a tine brick building across the 
street from the factory, the second story of which is used as a general 
business office of the company, with separate and private apartments, 
fitted up with taste and elegance, for the reception of guests and friends. 
Another room on the same floor is fitted up as a "draughting room;" here 
Mr. Thomson Kingsford, who is an experienced machinist and a skillful 
draughtsman, is accustomed to devote part ol his time designing pat- 
erns and scales of new machinery or buildings. In still another room 
we noticed a number of large boxes, which we learned contained 1,000 
lithograph plates of "The Oswego Starch Factory," a new work execu- 
ted by a Philadelphia house the past season. The design is well ex- 
ecuted and represents a birds-eye view of the entire premises. The 
plate is finely colored and will no doubt be much admired by the 
lovers of corn starch throughout the world. The ground floor of this 
building is used as a repacking room for the finer grades of starch. 

On the same side of the street, in the summer and fall of 1864, a large 
brick store house was erected for the reception and safe keeping of the 
starch after it is packed and ready for shipping. This building is 135 
feet long by 100 broad, and two stories high. 

The purity of this starch is unequalled. By a careful chemical analy- 
sis it has been found to contain 998-1000 per cent of pure starch, 
which explains the fact of its having received from the Great Exhibi- 
tion of all nations at London the prize medal ; from the American Insti- 
tute in the City of New York, the prize medal ; from the New York 
State Agricultural Society, the Gold and Silver medals ; from Boston, 
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Montreal, C. E., the first pre- 
mium; and a preference over all other kinds with which it has come in 
competition. 

Various grades of starch, as Pulverized Corn Starch, (denominated 
P. 0. S.), especially designed for culinary use ; of great luxury and 
delicacy as a desert ; exclusively used iu hotels, steamboats and private 
families ; pronounced by the most eminent physicians fully equal to 
arrowroot for all medicinal and dietetic purposes. Pure and refined, for 
laundry use ; for manufacturers' use, and particularly for prints, where 
the greatest degree of purity is required to prevent injury to the most 
delicate colors. All these grades are made to suit the respective purpo- 
ses for which starch is required, and ior which, since its extraordinary 
purity has become generally known, the demand has increased to an 
extent almost unlimited. Some idea can be formed from the sales as 
regards the favor with which the P. C S. has been received. In 1850, 
133,640 lbs. were made for culinary purposes, while in 1865 there was 
made 3,507,772 pounds, a natural increase. In 1866 it will reach fully 
4,000,000 pounds.

The universal celebrity of this starch has induced other manufactu- 
rers to imitate the packages, labels and stencil marks, upon the 
boxes, as near as may bo without subjecting themselves to damages for 
trespass. Purchasers have frequently been deceived by the near 
resemblance in these particulars ; and to avoid such imposition, great 
care is requisite in giving orders. 

Orders for the Oswego Starch, made by T. Kingsford & Son, directed 
to A, G. Beardsley, Treasurer, Auburn, N. Y., or to T. Kingsford & 
Son, Manufacturers, Oswego, N. Y., or to E. C. Chapin, Agent, lOS-lSV 
Fulton St., New York City, will meet with prompt attention. 

The bcnctits accruing to this city from the location of this manufac- 
tory in her midst will require considerable study to be fully apprecia- 
ted. Employing as it does some 500 men, it furnishes directly the 
means of subsistence for not less than 1,500 human beings, and the 
money paid these employees is paid out to our rcerchants and trades- 
men for their wares, therebj'^ contributing largely to the trade of the 
city. Indirectly, through the various founderies and machine shops of the 
city, the factory gives employment to other workmen, numbering almost 
among the hundreds. Besides all these benefits, and though not of lo- 
cal interest, yet a speculative mind might indulge in estimates as to the 
number of men required to till the land, plant and harvest the crop of 
600,000 bushels of corn yearly, and when this corn is harvested and in 
thegraneries of the Great West, estimate the number of wagon loads 
required to transport it to the various shipping points, and then the 
boat loads or car loads to take it to Chicago or Milwaukee, and finally, 
of the season's work for eight or ten of our largest vessels to bring it to 
Oswego. And also as to the number of men and time required to cut 
the logs, manufacture the 3,500,000 feet of lumber used, and transport 
it to Oswego, and again as to the amount of labor required to raise 
3,000 tons of coal in the beds of Pennsylvania and bring it to this city. 
All these items and more must be considered before we can appreciate 
the benefits derived from having this, the largest starch factory in the 
world, located in this city. Its products go out to, and the returns, 
in the shape of millions of dollars are coming back from every quarter 
of the globe. The manufacturers having filled orders from all parts of 
Europe, .and occasionally from South America, Africa, China and the 
Islands of the Pacific. All these countries contribute indirectly to the 
prosperity of Oswego, and the city is to-day, perhaps better known by 
reputation through her starch in those distant countries than many of 
her sister cities of larger pretensions. 

Ames'' Iron Works, situated on East Cayuga street, and occupying 
the block between Second and Third streets, is another of the large 
manufacturing establishments, and one whose business adds mate- 
riall}-- to the growth and prosperity of Oswego. This establishment 
was originated in 1834, by Messrs. Talcott & Underbill, who were, in 
1862 succeeded by Henry M. Ames, Esq., the present proprietor. 

The works are propelled by a powerful steam engine. The princi- 
pal articles of manufacture are steam engines and boilers, hydraulic en- 
gines, machinery for mills, factories and grain elevators, patent iron 
capstans, vessel winches, iron planes, drills, lathes, patent plaining ma- 
chines, boiler feeders and machinery generally ; also, iron fences, bal- 
conies, iron columns, window caps and sills, and Reynolds' patent wa- 
ter wheels, &c., &c, The establishment gives employment to 100 men, 
and the machinery they make is sent to all parts of the United States. 



The patent geared iron capstans are now extensively used on the Sea- 
board, the Mississippi and the Lakes, and the engines are used through- 
out the west and southwest. Mr. Ames has regular established agen- 
cies in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, 
Savannah, Ga., Louisville and St. Louis. Some idea of the business 
done here may be gained from the fact that besides the vast amount of 
other work done, twenty engines valued at §.35,000 were turned out 
from these works during the month of September, the present year. 

The Ontario Iron Works and Rolling Mills, was chartered in 1864 
as a Stock Company, with a capital of $200,000, During that year 
their works, which are situated on the shore of Lake Ontario, at the 
foot of West Second, Third, and Fourth Streets were erected. The 
buildings are of an irregular shape, the two main wings being respect- 
ively 120 and 270 feetin length, be.^ides storehouse and outbuildings. 
They are provided with eight puddling furnaces, two heating furnaces, 
one train each, of nine and sixteen inch rolls, one of R. Dudgeons direct 
acting steam hammers. Burdens patent squeezer, two pair steam shears, 
lathes and other necessary machinery. The works are driven by two 
powerful Corliss steam engines. The full operation of the -works re- 
quire the employment of about 150 operatives, to whom about $7,000 
per month are paid. The process of manufacturing bar or wrought iron 
from cast iron, is one requiring more space to fully describe than can 
be afforded in a work of this nature, we will therefore only attempt 
a brief outline. The more curious ones should visit the works, if pos- 
sible in the night time, when they may have the benefit of a brilliant 
display of fire-works free of expense. 

To make bar iron, the furnace is charged with about 450 pounds of 
cast " pig" iron, together with about half that quantity of ore, where it 
is soon converted into a molten mass. It is now stirred and worked 
vigorously for nearly an hour or until it passes into the state of wrought 
iron, when it settles to the bottom of the furnace, leaving the dross 
floating on the surface; this is now run off and the iron which is thick 
and sticky is rolled up into four large balls. From the furnace it 
passes into the " squeezer," a machine for reducing it into solid blooms. 
From here it goes to the "forge bar rolls," from whence it comes in 
various lengths and sizes, according to the size of the original ball. It 
is now called puddled iron. After being allowed to cool it is taken to 
the steam shears where it is cut in various lengths, according to size 
of finished bar iron wanted. These short bars are now placed, several 
of them compactly together, and placed in the heating furnace, where 
they are allowed to remain until fused together when they are taken 
out and passed through the finishing rolls until they come out the re- 
quired size, a straight, smooth bar of round or square iron as may be 
desired, in some instances twent3--five or thirty feet in length. 

Scrap iron is closely packed on boards about eight in. wide by two ft. 
in length, the sides being supported by strips of band or other iron. — 
These packages weigh from 150 to 200 pounds and are placed in the 
heating furnace where they are exposed to a white heat, when the 
board is burned away and the iron is firmly fused together. This does 
not go to the squeezer, but passes immediately to the forge bar rolls, 
after which it is in the process of manufacture, in the same condition as 
puddled iron and is thereafter treated the same. After the finished 
iron has suflBciently cooled, it is cut up by the steam shears in Buitable 



44 OSWEGO COUNTY. 

lengths for market, and if small is bundled, or if large is taken to the 
store house in bars. 

These works have a capacity for producing sixteen tons of puddled 
iron and fifteen tons finished iron, requiring the use of about forty tons 
of coal per day. To keep the furnace in repair about 20,000 fire brick. 
Seventy tons fire clay and 100 tons fire sand must be provided during 
eight months of the year. The steam shears before mentioned are 
worked by an independant engine attached to the machine which is 
capable of cutting a three inch bar of iron with ease. The steam ham- 
mer is a most useful and obedient implement under the supervision of 
one experienced in its use, but in the hands of an inexperienced work- 
man might become dangerous to use. This is also driven by an inde- 
pendent engine, the piston of which also forms the hammer. Its 
motions are controlled by the use of two levers, which operate the 
valves, one to elevate, the other to drop the hammer. By the aid of 
these, the skillful operator is enabled to drop the hammer as gently 
and as slow as he likes — could crack a filbert or drive a shingle nail as 
gently as with a hand hammer or by a sudden movement of the lever, 
the ponderous weight comes down and is repeated with great velocity, 
and with a force of seven tons at a blow. 

A large boiler is placed over each furnace, the waste heat from which 
produces an ample supyly of steam for driving the entire works, and 
saves a vast amount of fuel that would otherwise be required. 

The present officers of the company are Albert G. Cook, President ; 
Henry S. Conde, Secretary; E. P. Burt, Treasurer and Manager. Under 
the management of these officers together with the superior practical 
knowledge and supervision of Mr. Joseph Williams, the Foreman of 
the works, they are now producing an article of iron equal, if not super- 
ior to any manufactured in this country. Chicago is the chief market, 
although considerable orders are filled from various parts of this State. 

Three ship yards, one marine railway, and several dry docks rank 
among the important manufacturing establishments of the City, and 
give employment to some hundreds of men. Lumber is extensively 
dressed for various markets. The Home Manufacturing Companyhsiye 
quite an extensive factory for manufacturing Cotton Cloth and knit 
goods, besides this, there are three other knitting factories in the City, 
all doing a prosperous business; one of them owned by James Holroyd, 
Esq., is located on the corner of East Third, and Utica Streets, it is 
substantially built of brick, 132 feet by 36 and four stories high, and 
gives employment to about 140 operatives. This mill runs principally 
on fine shirts and drawers, of which it turns out about forty dozen 
daily. It operates four sets of cards and twelve large, and three small 
knitting machines. Each of the large machines contains 787 needles, 
the machine makes forty revolutions per minute and is fed by four 
threads equalling 3,148 stitches for each revolution or 75,920 per min- 
ute for each machine, which if multiplied by fourteen, the number of 
machines, we arrive at a result of 1,062,880 stitches per minute, as 
the capacity of this mill when all the machines are in operation. To man- 
ufacture the cloth into shirts and drawers, Mr. Holroyd uses twelve 
sewing machines all of which are driven by waterpower. 

The other mills are similar except that they run on coarser grades of 
goods, use coarser needles and consequently do not take as many 
stitches in the same time. John King & Co., Iron Founders and 
Machinest, whose shop is on the corner of West Bridge and Second 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 45 



Streets, are doing quite an extensive business in their line. S. A. Webb, 
Esq., has purchased the right of Pomeroy's Patent Governor for steam 
engines, and is manufacturing quite extensively, it is said, tke best 
governor known, for many uses. 

Many other branches of manufacture are carried on in the City. 
Oswego has made great improvement in her railroad communications 
within the past year or two. A company was formed under the corpor- 
ate name of Rome and Oswego R. R. Co., who have constructed a line 
leading from East First Street, through Scriba, New Haven, Mexico, 
and Pulaski to Richland, where it intersects the Rome, Watertown 
and Ogdensburgh R. R. The road was put in running order last win- 
ter, when it was leased by the R. W. & 0. R. R. Co. for a term of 
years, the trains now running in connection with the main line. 

The Oswego and Syracuse Rail Road Co. are also making extensive 
improvements on the West side of the river', having been engaged for 
several years in deepening the river above the lower bridge. When 
completed, vessels of the largest size will be able to discharge and re- 
ceive their cargoes directly from the companies dock. The company 
are now building a new and elegant depot and freight house just m 
rear of the old one, that has so long been an eyesore to community. 
In many other respects the company are making improvements. 

The early history of Oswego has already been noticed in the general 
history of the County. Its distinctive and modern history dates from 
its surrender by the British in 1796. The withdrawal of the British 
garrison took away from the place all that had ever been established of 
civilized society, and left it as new as though man had never resided 
there. During the year following the evacuation, Neil McMullen, a 
merchant of Kingston, moved thither, bringing with him a house fram- 
ed at Kingston. When Mr. McMullen and his family landed at Oswego, 
they found two American residents — John Love and Ziba Phillips. 
They were traders and left soon after. Capt. Edward 0' Conner, of the 
Revolutionary Army, came in during the same year ; Matthew McNair 
and Bradner Burt and his father came in 1802 ; Henry Eagle in 1808 ; 
Alvin Bronson in 1810 ; and Wm. Dolloway in 1811. In 1810 the 
population numbered 300. Rankin McMullen, son of Neil McMullen 
born in 1800, was the first child born within the present limits of the 
City. Of the 6rst settlers of Oswego, but few survive. Bradner Burt, 
Mrs. Hunter Crain, daughter ot Neil McMullen, and Capt. Aaron Bush, 
who came in 1801, are all we know that remain among the living. 

Alvin Bronson, has lived to see a City of 20,000 inhabitants. He 
has entered upon the 84th year of his age, as vigorous to all appear- 
ances in body and mind as ever. Through all the vicissitudes of the 
City, he has been the promoter of its leading interests. When, in Au- 
gust last at the first Semi-Centenial Celebration of the fiftieth anniver- 
sary of the Organization of Oswego Co., held in this City, he took an 
active part in the exercises, and was called upon to respond to the 
toast, " The Commercial Interests of Oswego." The subject was one, 
he said, " Of so much importance that he could not then and there at- 
tempt a response, but that he would at his leisure, write it out." He 
has since prepared a very complete and lengthy review of his eventful 
commercial life, as the most appropriate response to the toast. It, 
together with a great amount of valuable statistics and rcminisencos 
in the history of Oswego County, will shortly appear in a work now in 
course of preparation by Judge D. P. Brewster, of this city. In 1802,

but two or three vessels were owned on the American side of the Lake, 
trade being principally carried on by vessels belonging to the North- 
west Fur Company. During this year Benajah Boyington built a 
warehouse on the West side of the river, and Arch. Fairfield became a 
forwarding merchant. Salt from the Onondaga Springs was at that 
time the most important item of the commerce of Oswego. In 1803 
Matthew McNair engaged in the forwarding business and purchased a 
schooner. In 1804 he built another, and, in connection with other gen- 
tlemen purchased a number of Canadian vessels. In 1804 all com- 
mercial transactions were carried on with unrestricted freedom. No 
ship papers, licenses, reports, or oaths w^ere required, the keen-scented 
Custom House OflBcers not having yet smelt out the commerce of the 
Lakes. From this period ship-building was carried on briskly, and it 
formed a leading interest until the breaking out of the war iu 1812. 

The war put an end to commercial transactions ; but the place be- 
came the scene of stirring military events. The fort was garrisoned 
and commanded by Col. Mitchell. On the 5th of May, 1814, the Brit- 
ish fleet under Sir James Yeo appeared off the harbor and opened a 
heavy fire upon the place. The fire was returned by the four small 
guns which constituted the only armament of Fort Ontario, and by a 
small battery on the west side of the river. The next morning the 
British took position still nearer the shore, and under the cover of a 
heavy fire the columns of the enemy effected a landing. After a gal- 
lant but vain resistance, Col. Mitchell retreated, leaving the fort and 
town in possession of the enemy. The British loss in the action was 
about 20O, and the American, G9 killed and wounded. The British 
carried off several of the prominent citizens, and kept them prisoners 
until they were duly discharged. Among the prisoners were Alvin 
Bronson, Abram Hugunin and Eli Stevens. The principal object of 
the attack on Oswego was to secure the naval stores destined lor the 
new vessels building at Sacket's Harbor ; but a large share of these 
were at Oswego Falls, twelve miles above, and were not taken. Several 
cannon and other heavy articles lying upon the wharf were sunk in the 
river, at the command of Col. Mitchell ; these were afterwards recov- 
ered. On the morning of the 7th the British retired, and the fleet pro- 
ceeded north to blockade Sacket's Harbor. Lieut. Woolsey who had 
charge of the stores immediately dropped down the river, and with 
nineteen boats laden with stores, set out on the lake under cover of 
night, supported by a body of riflemen and Indians under Maj. 
Appling, on shore. The boats were pursued and took refuge in Sandy 
Creek, where an action took place resulting in the capture of the entire 
attacking party. 

Oswego recovered slowly from the effects of the war, and its com- 
mercial transactions were comparatively unimportant until the opening 
of the Oswego and Welland Canals. In the meantime ship building be- 
came a leading pursuit of the people, In 1818, ten years before the 
Oswego Canal was completed, 36,000 barrels of Onondaga salt were re- 
ceived at Oswego, of which 26,000 barrels went to Western States by 
the portages round Niagara Falls. At that period the price of salt at 
Oswego was $2,50 per barrel, and the cost of transportation from Sali- 
na, by Oswego, to Black Rock $1,41 per barrel. In 1856 there were re- 
ceived at Oswego 700,000 barrels, of which over 500,000 went to upper 
lake ports through the Welland Canal at a cost of transportation rang- 
ing from ten to twenty cents per barrel from Salina to Chicago. This 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 47 

price for freight is much less than it is from St. Clair river to Chicago, 
less than half the distance, illustrating the fact that the demand for up 
freights is at the great receiving point of down freights. 

In 1816, steam navigation was first introduced on Lake Ontario, and 
its great progress since has been of immense importance to Oswego. 

In 1829-30, Alvin Bronson and T. S. Morgan erected the first flour- 
ing mill. In 1828 the Oswego Canal was finished, and in 1830 the 
Welland Canal was opened, giving a new impulse to trade and opening 
to the place an almost boundless commerce in the future. With the 
advantages of natural position and the stimulus of the lines of internal 
improvement, both the commerce and manufactures of Oswego have 
been increased in an almost unprecedented manner ; and there is every 
reason to believe that this increase is to continue for many years to 
come. The population of the city in 1865 was: 1st Ward, 4,475, vo- 
ters, 588. 2d Ward, 3,897, voters. 698. 3d Ward, 6,004, voters, 
1,014. 4th Ward. 4,912, voters, 900. Total pop., 19,288. Voters, 
3,150. Area, 2,825^ acres. 

Oswego (town) was formed from Hannibal, April 20, 1818. A 
part of Granby was annexed May 20, 1836. It lies upon the shore of 
Lake Ontario, on the west side of the river. Its surface is generally 
rolling, ending in a bluff shore upon the lake. The streams are the 
Eight Mile, Rice, Snake and Minetto Creeks. A fall in the Oswego 
river within the limits of this town affords an abundance of water 
power. The underlying rock is principally red sandstone, and the soil 
is a gravelly loam. Boulders and water worn pebbles are scattered 
over its surface, making it very stony in places. 

Minetto, p. v., situated on Oswego river, four miles from the city, 
contains an extensive saw mill and about 200 inhabitants. South 
West Oswego is a post office. 

The first settlement was made in 1797. by Asa Rice, from Conn. 
Reuben Pixley came in 1800, and Daniel Burt iu 1802. Among the 

early settlers were Nathan Nelson and Beckwith, in 1804 ; Elea- 

zur Perry, in 1805 ; Jonathan Buel and Jacob .Thorpe, in 1806 ; and 
Daniel Robinson, in 1809. The iirst birth was that of Thomas Jefferson 
Rice, in 1801 ; the first marriage was that of Augustus Ford and Miss 
Rice, in 1800; and the first death was that of Asa Rice, in 1798. 
Population of the town in ISfio was 2,913. No. of voters, 659. Area, 
19,737 acres. 

Falermo was Ibrmed from Vohiey, April 4, 1882. It is an interior 
town, lying ju.st southwest of the center of the county. Its surface is 
undulating. The ]arge swamp in the east part of the town is 57 feet 
above Oneida Lake, and the ridges are about 25 feet above the swamp. 
The streams are Scott's and Fish Creeks. The soil is generally a sandy 
loam. Lumber, the products of wood, and leather, are the principal 
articles manufactured. 

Jenning^s Corners, (Palermo post office), situated near the center of 
the town, and Vermillion, near the line of New Haven, are small villa- 
ges. East Palermo is a post oflBce and hamlet. 

The first settlement was made in 1806 by David Jennings, Simeon 
Crandftll, and Silvanus Hopkins. Among the early settlers were Alvin 
Walker, Stephen Blake, and Zadock Hopkins— all in 1811. The first 
inn was opened in 1816, by Stephen Blake; and the first saw mill was 



48 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 



built by Phineas Chapin, in 1812. The first school was taught by 
Harriet Eason, in the summer of 1812. Population of town in 1865 
was 2,219 ; No. of voters, 585. Area, 25,015i acres. 

Parish, named in honor of George Parish, who purchased the town 
before its settlement, was formed from Mexico, March 20, 1828. It is an 
interior town, a little south east of the center of the county. Its surface is 
undulating, but considerably broken by ravines, and in some parts rough 
and stony. The streams are Salmon Creek and its tributaries. The 
valley in the west part is 246 feet above Lake Ontario, and the east 
summits are twenty-five to fifty feet higher. The soil consists of clay, 
sand and gravel, and is moderately fertile. Less than half the town is 
under cultivation. There are in the town thirteen schoolhouses. 

Parishville (Parish post office), on Salmon Creek, in the west part, 
contains one church and fifty houses. 

Quite an extensive tannery is carried on by Messrs. Robertson and 
Argersinger, at this point. The first settlement was made in 1804 by 
Thomas Nutting, Eliada Orton, Jonathan Bedell, Amos Williams and 
Rev. Gamaliel Barnes. Thos. Nutting and wife are the only survivors. 
Mr. Nutting is now eighty-nine years ©f age, and with one exception 
has voted at every election in the town since its settlement. His first 
vote was given for John Adams. Mr. Barnes was the first Baptist min- 
ister in Oswego Co. It was through his influence the first church was 
organized Oct. 15, 1807. He was a revolutionary soldier and refused to 
accept a pension upon conscientious scruples. After leading a very 
exemplary life, he died February 5, 1853, aged 96 years. Paul Allen 
settled in town in 1805. The first birth was that of Ranson Orton in 
1805. The first death that of Jonathan Bedell, the Surveyor of the 
settlement, who was killed by the falling of a tree, and the first mar- 
riage, that of Nathan Parkhurst and the widow Bedell. John J. Mil- 
ler kept the first inn in 1807 ; and Martin Way and Paul Allen built 
the first saw mill in 1808. The first school house was built in 1808 at an 
expense of $ 15, being a log house covered with hemlock boards. Samuel 
Phileo was the first teacher. Population of the town in 1865 was 
1,814, No. of voterB, 471. Area, 24,63U acres. 

lEledfield was taken from Mexico as a part of Oneida county, March 
14, 1800. The town of "Arcadia," so called, was annexed Feb. 20, 
1807. The town of "Greenboro" was erected Feb. 21, 1843, and re- 
annexed March 1, 1848, in consequence of fraudulent practices with re- 
gard to assessments upon the lands of non-residents. It is the north 
east corner town of the county. Its surface is hilly in the south ; but 
in the north it spreads out into a high rolling plateau 800 to 1,000 feet 
above tide. A wide intervale extends along the course of Salmon river, 
which stream drains nearly the whole town. The underlying rock is 
gray limestone, and the soil upon it is generally a thin and' moderately 
fertile gravelly loam. The soil of the intervale is a deep, sandy loam 
of good quality. The greater part of the town is still unsettled, and 
the uplands are frosty and forbidding regions. 

Center Square (Redfield post office), situated on Salmon river, in the 
south part of the town is a small viilsgc. Greevhorough is a post office 
in the north west part. The settlement of the town was commenced 
in 1798, by immigrants, mostly from Connecticut. Among those early 
settlers were Amos Kent, Josiah Tryon, Nathan Sage, Jonathan Har- 
mon, James Drake, Eli Strong, Benj. Austin, Samuel Brooks, Eliakim 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 49 

Simonds, Nathan Cook, Ebenezer Chamberlain, David Harmon, and 
Elihu Ingraham. The tirst birth was that of Ezra L. H. Chamberlain ; 
and the first death that of an infant son of Dr. Alden, in ISOI , The first 
saw and grist mills were erected in 1 801 ; and the first inn was opened in 
the same year by David Butler. The lirst school was taught in 1802, by 
Rev. Joshua Johnson, who also organized the first church (Cong.) with 
nineteen members in 1802. Population of the town in 1865 was 1,072, 
No. of votes, 224. Area, 57,823^ acres. 

Richland was formed from Williamstown as part of Oneida Co., Feb. 
20, 1807. Orwell was taken off" in 1817, Sandy Creek and Albion, in 
1825, a part of Mexico in 1836, and a part of Orwell in 1844, It lies 
upon the shore of Lake Ontario, north of the center of the county. 
The surface is generally level or gently rolling, broken by the deep ra- 
vines of the streams. The east part is 250 feet above Lake Ontario and 
Pulaski Village is 131 feet above, giving to the town a decided M^esterly 
inclination. The principal streams are Salmon River, (at the mouth of 
which is a harbor admitting vessels of light draught), Deer and Stone 
Creeks ; and upon each of them are falls, furnishing a large amount 
of water-power. There are a large number of saw mills, several shin- 
gle mills, grist mills, factories, and other manufacturing establishments 
in this town. Spring Brook is a small stream flowing from several 
arge springs in the east part of the town, and in the course of three 
miles falls loU feet. The springs are pe^'petual, and rather increase 
than diminish in summer ; so that the power furnished is abundant 
and constant. The underlying rock is the Lorraine shales. The 
soil is a sundy loam, with some clay in the south west part, and is gen- 
erally fertile. 

Pulaski, on Salmon River about three miles from its mouth, is the half 
shire town of the county, and was incorporated April 26, 1832. It is 
a manufacturing village of considerable importance. It contains a 
court-house, printing office, bank and academy, and is the second iu 
point of population of the villages of the county. It is a station on the 
R. & 0. R. R. Port Ontario on Salmon Kiver, near its mouth, and 
Hohnesville (South Richland P 0.), are small villages. Selkirk, a ham- 
let at the mouth of Salmon River contains a U. S. lighthouse. Rich- 
land Station at the Junction of the R. W. & 0. and R. & 0. Railroads, 
is in the east part of the town. 

The'first settlement was made near the mouth of Salmon River, in 
1801, by Nathan Tuttle, of Canada, and Nathan Wilcox and Albert 
Bohannan, from Rome. Among the early settlers were Hugh 
Montgomery, in 1801; John Ingersoll, Benj. Bull, Israel Jones, John 

Farnaham, and Johnson, in 1804 ; Jeremiah Matthewson, in 

1807," and Ephraim and Justus Fox, in 1808. The first birth was 
that of Benj. Ingersoll, Aug. 28, 1804 ; the first marriage, that of Sam- 
uel Crippen and Ruth Tuttle, the same year ; and the first death, that 
of a child of Nathan Tuttle. The first ian was kept by Benj. Winch, 
in 1806 ; and the first store by John Meacham, in 1810. The first saw 
mill was built by John Hoar, in 180G ; and the first grist mill by Jere- 
miah Matthewson, in 1808. Milly Ellis taught the first school in the 
summer of 1808. The first church (Cong.), was organized Jan. 22, 
1811 ; and Mr. Oliver Leavitt was the first settled pastor. Population 
of the town in 18G5 was 4,137, No. of voters, 1,040. Area, 39,491 
acres.

OSWEGO COUNTY. 



Sandy Creek was formed from Richland, March 34, 1825. It lies 
on the shore of Lake Ontario, upon the North border of the county, — 
Its surface is rolling and has a Westerly inclination, its East border 
being elevated about 500 feet above the surface of the Lake. It is 
drained by little Sandy Creek and many smaller streams, all of which 
have rapid currents and are frequently interrupted by falls, which fur- 
nish a good supply of water-power. Little Sandy Pond, a portion of 
Lake Ontario, nearly land-locked, lies principally within the limits of 
this town. The soil consists of gravelly loam and disintegrated shale, 
and is generally productive. Lumber is the principal manufactured 
product. 

Washingtonville, (Sandy Creek P. 0.) situated on little Sand}'- Creek, 
four miles from its mouth,is an enterprising village. Easl. Sandy Creek, 
about a mile from Washingtonville, is a station on the R. W. and O. 
R. R. 

The first settlement was made in 1804, by Joseph Ilurd and Elias 
Ilowe, from Oneida County. In 1805 Asel Hurd and five families from 
Vermont, by the name of Meacham, settled in town. The first saw 
mill was built by Wm. Skinner and Joseph Hurd in 1804 ; and the 
first grist mill by James Hinman, in 1806 ; Simeon Meacham kept the 
first store and tavern, in 180G, and the first school was taught at the 
house of George Harding, by his daughter in 1807-08. The first birth 
was that of Laura Hurd ; the first marriage, that of Henry Patterson 
and Lucy Meacham, in 180G, and the first death that of Mrs. Elias 
Howe, in 1807. The first church (Presbyterian) was organized in 1817, 
by Rev. Mr. Danlap. Population of Town in 18C5 was 2,432. No. of 
voters 653. Area, 23,297^ acres. 

SchrCBppel^ (pronounced Scru-ple,) named from Henry W. Schrcep- 
pel, was taken from Volney, April 4, 1832. It lies in the South part of 
the County, in the North-east angle formed by the junction of Oneida 
and Oswego Rivers. The surface is level or gently rolling. It is wat- 
ered by Scott and Fish Creeks and many smaller streams. A swamp 
extends Northward from the mouth of Fish Creek to the North border 
of the Town, and is a half mile to a mile in width. The soil is a rich 
sandy loam and clay. The underlying rocks, which belong to the 
Clinton group, nowhere crop out in this town. 

Phamix, named in honor of Alex. Phoenix, on Oswego River, two 
miles below Three River Point, was incorporated in 1848. It contains 
several churches, stores, newspaper oflQce, shops, &c., and is an impor- 
tant station on the Oswego and Syracuse Canal. GilbertsviUe, (Gil- 
bert's Mills P. O.) in the North part, is a small village. Hinmansvillc, 
in the extreme West part, on Oswego River, and Penneville, near the 
center are little more than hamlets. 

Settlement was commenced by Abram Paddock in 1800. Thomas 
Vickery and — La Homedieu settled in 1807, and Wm. Miles in 1808. 
The first birth was that of Joseph Vickery, Sept. 11, 1807; and the 
first marriage that of John Lemanier and Sally Winter. Th'e first saw 
mill was erected by H. W. Schrojppel, in 1819 ; and the first grist mill, 
by A. and H. Gilbert, the same year. The first store was kept by 
Andrus Gilbert, in 1821, and the first inn by Alex. Phoenix, in 1828. 
Horatio Sweet taught the first school at Three River Point, in 1813. 
The first church (M. E.) was organised in 1826. Population of the 
town in 1865 was 3,669. No. of voter>^7. Area, 24,674i acres. 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 51 

Scriba^ named in honor of George Scriba, the original proprietor of 
this and several adjoining towns, was taken from " Fredericksburgh" 
(now Volney) as part of Oneida county, April 5, 1811. It lies upon 
Lake Ontario and the East bank of Oswego River. Its surface is roll- 
ing, the ridges extending North and South, and elevated 100 to 180 
feet above the lake. It is drained by Black Creek, flowing South, and 
Nine Mile, Four Mile, and Wine Creeks flowing North. Upon several 
of the streams are valuable mill privileges. The soil is a gravelly and 
sandy loam, stoney in places and only moderately fertile. Apples and 
barrels are among the staple products of the Town. 

Scriba Corners, (Scriba P. 0.) is a small village near the center of 
the town. North Scriba is a hamlet and a station on the R. and 0. 
R. R. 

The first settlement was made by Henry Evarts in 1708. Asahel 
Bush ond Samuel Tiffany settled in town in 1801 ; Wm. Burt and 
Hiel Stone in 1805, and Dr. Deodatus Clark in 1807. The first birth 
was that of Henry Evarts, Jr.; the first marriage that of John Masters 
and Elsie Baldwin, in 1806, and the first death that of a child of Hiram 
Warner. The first inn was kept by Hiel Stone, in 1806, and the first 
store by Orrin Stone and Aaron Parkhurst, in 1819. Benjamin Robin- 
son, from Manlius taught the first school, in 1804. Population of the 
town in 1862 was 3.315. No. of voters 791. Area, 23,334^ acres. 

Volney, named in honor of Volney the French author, who visited 
the town in 1808, while on a tour through the United States, was form- 
ed (by the name of " Fredericksburgh'' ) from Mexico, as part of Oneida 
County, March 21, 1806. Its name was changed April 5, 1811. Scriba 
was taken off in 1811, and Schrceppel and Palermo in 1883. 

It lies upon the east bank of Oswego River, south west of the center of 
the county. Its surface is undulating, with high, steep banks border- 
ing upon the river. The ridges are 50 to 100 feet above the valleys, 
and 100 to 300 feet above Oswego River. The Red Sandstone crops 
out on the bank of the river, and is extensively quarried for building 
stone. The falls upon the river furnish an immense amount of water- 
power. The soil is a sandy and gravelly loam. 

Fulton, named in honor of Robert Fulton, (it was originally called 
•' Oswego Falls^'') on Oswego River, twelve miles above its mouth, was 
incorijorated April 29, 1835, and is the largest village in the County. 
It contains six or seven churches, the Falley Seminary, a newspaper 
office, two banks, a first-class hotel, and a large number of stores and 
manufacturing establishments. The portage at this place was the only 
interruption in the internal water communication between Schenectady 
and the ports upon Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, after the 
construction of the Canal connecting Wood Creek with the Mohawk 
River, by the Western Navigation Company, in 179G. 

The interest taken in educational matters is one of the most interest- 
ing features of this village. The i)ublic schools are well sustained and 
patronized. 

The Seminary has long maintained an enviable notoriety as a first- 
class educational institution, and the number, character and attainment 
of its annual graduates, has earned for it a well-merited reputation, 
which a discerning public has not failed to appreciate and reward. — 
Falley Seminary had its origin from the following circumstances : — In 
1833, a Miss Gardner, who had previously taught one of the district 



52 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 



schools in that community, of)ened a select school in the building now 
standing on the corner of Oneida and Third streets, which proved to 
be a very successfnl enterprize. She had over seventy pupils. She 
was a lady of great energy and fine attainments. 

In July, 1834, she left America on her way to India as a Missionary. 
She was the first Missionary to foreign lands from this county. Her 
industry, her virtues, and her piety, left their impress upon the 
youth that had been under her charge. She afterwards became the 
wife of the Rev. Mr. Abbot, and died in India. 

The success which had attended the labors of Miss Gardner, in 
the establishment of her school, was no doubt instrumental in prompt- 
ing the Rev. John Eastman, who was at that time supplying the 
pulpit of the Presbyterian Congregation, and who was well acquainted 
with the condition of Miss Gardner's school, to embark in the enter- 
prize of establishing a Seminary here, for the education of young 
ladies. 

In September, 1834, Mr. Eastman opened a school in the same build- 
ing that had been occupied by Miss Gardner. The patronage he re- 
ceived was so encouraging that in May, 183G, through the liberality 
of the prominent citizens here, an institution was incorporated by 
the name of the " Fulton Female Seminary." 

The trustees named in the act were John Eastman, A. G. Fish, 
Thomas R. Brayton, John E. Button, George Salmon, M. Lindley 
Lee, Israel P. Knox, Chauncey Betts, Henry Westfall, Henry Pear- 
son, Samuel Merry, and Lemuel Dada. As early as 1839 the Regents 
of the University of the State of New York began to bestow upon 
it a share of the Literature Fund. 

Mr. Eastman continued to have charge of the institution until 1836, 
when Miss Maria C. Maynard was elected preceptress. She continued 
in charge until 1841. Under her management the school became 
one of the most useful and popular institutions in central and west- 
ern New York. She was a lady of superior talents and of a very 
high order of intellectual acquirements ; added to all these were the 
gifts of a genial nature, a heart overflowing with kindness and benev- 
olence, and great personal energy and decision of character. More 
than four hundred young ladies went out from this seat of learning, 
with minds not only cultivated with substantial erudition, under her 
supervision, but with hearts fired and imbued by her example, with 
pure and exalted sentiments of virtue and goodness, to act their part 
in the great drama of life. Miss Maynard afterwards became the wife 
of Mr. George Salmons. She died May G, 1861 ,universally respected 
and lamented. 

In 1841 steps were taken to still further increase the usefulness of 
this school by throwing it open to youth of both sexes. The name 
was changed in 1842 to " The Fulton Academy." 

In 1843 Amos G. Hull was elected Principal. He suspended his law 
studies to take charge of the institution temporarily, until a permanent 
Principal could be obtained. He was succeeded by Eev. E. E. Brag- 
don, who continued to have charge of the school as Principal until 
1844. Rev. B. H. Caldwell was elected Principal in 1844 and was 
continued as such two years. Rev. Theodore Parsons was elected 
Principal in 1846. In 1848 Rev. E. E. Bragdon was re-elected Princi- 
pal. He was succeeded by J. R. French, Esq., in 1853. The institu- 
tion having received large donations from Hon. George F. Falley, and 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 53 

in 1849 his widow having donated $4,000 more, to perpetuate the name 
of these benefactors the title of the institution was changed by an act 
of the Legislature in 1849, to the " Falley Seminary of the Black River 
Conference." About this time a large lot was donated by Col. James 
L. Voorhees, on which to build a new edifice. Funds were raised to 
some extent, under the supervision of the Methodist denomination, by 
selling scholarships. A large and elegant edifice was built. Debts 
were contracted which eventually embarrassed the institution. The 
Rev. J. W. Armstrong was elected Principal in 1854, the Rev. Dr. 
Hapgood in 1855. He was succeeded by Rev. Henry Mansfield. — 
About this time it became doubtful whether the Seminary could sur- 
vive the pressure of debts that Avere weighing it down. The citizens 
of Fulton and Oswego Falls came forward with a laudable liberality 
and contributed over three thousand dollars. That did not extinguish 
the debt. The services of Prof. John P. Grifiin, who had been very 
successful as a teacher and in promoting the interests of kindred insti- 
tutions, were secured as Principal. He has invested much of his own 
funds in the institution. He has made great pecuniary sacrifices to pro- 
mote its interests and is bestowing upon it his unremitting attention. 
Under his care and circumspection, aided as it is by a very superior 
corps of professors and teachers, it is emerging from debt, constantly 
increasing in patronage and usefulness, and is now regarded as one of 
the best conducted seminaries of learning in the land. v 

The institution has a very well selected library, and good chemical 
and philosophical apparatus. 

The history of the Press of Fulton will be found in the general 
history of the county on page 21. 

Fulton has become a business center for a large agricultural district, 
including the towns of Volney and Granby, and parts of Scriba, Pal- 
ermo, Hastings, Scrceppel, Lysander and Hannibal. Its geographical 
position ; the local advantages growing out of its unrivalled water pow- 
er ; its distance from the thriving cities of Oswego and Syracuse, are 
considerations which will forever intervene to prevent it from undergo- 
ing the absorbing process incident to villages located near rapidly 
growing cities. The water-power and the facilities for using it, at this 
place, are unsurpassed by any in the State. The Oswego River, drain- 
ing the numerous large lakes in the interior of the State, having such 
immense fountains spread over a large extent of comparativly level ter- 
ritory, is never afi'ected by freshets or drouth, sufficient to impair its 
usefulness in propelling machinery at any season of the year. This is 
particularly true of Fulton, owing to the immense pond, or reservoir, 
formed above the Oswego Falls by the State Dam, the reservoir being 
nearly five miles long, and of great depth. These unrivalled facilities 
for manufacturing purposes have not been entirely overlooked by men 
of enterprise and capital. The manufactories consist of several exten- 
sive flouring mills, woolen and knitting factories, paper mills, barrel 
factories, iron foundries and machine shops, capable of manufacturing 
almost every branch of machinery from the ponderous steam engine 
down to the most delicate class of mechanism. 

Another branch of industry which is in process of development is the 
manufacture and utilization o^ peat as a fuel, valuable deposits of which 
have recently been discovered in this section of the country. 

The Fulton Peat Company was formed for this purpose in 1865. A 
small farm of twenty-five acres in the town of Palermo, adjoining the 



town of Volney, on which some eighteen acres of a valuable deposit of 
this article had been discovered, was purchased by this company, and 
preparations made for the future working of the bed. The bed itself 
has an average depth of seven feet of pure j^eat ; and by those who have 
examined and tested it by use, is considered superior in quality to most 
deposits of the kind in our country. No effort has as yet been made 
by the company to introduce their peat into market, their efforts having 
been confined thus far to clearing and draining the land, preparatory to 
a more vigorous development. They have in contemplation, however, 
the procuring of a machine for condensing it, which will facilitate its 
manufacture, and render it better adapted for the purpose for which a 
kind Providence has designed it. 

On the 17th of August, 1851, the business part of Fulton was almost 
entirely consumed by fire ; yet such were the resources, and so indo- 
mitable the energy of the people, that before the 1st of December of the 
same year, almost every place of business was rebuilt, and several large, 
fine brick blocks, erected in addition. More recently, on the morning 
of the 1st of August, 186G, another disastrous fire took place, by which 
a considerable portion of the business and resident part of the village 
was destroyed, and a loss entailed of from $75,000 to $80,000 ; but the 
same principles of energy and public spirit w^hich enabled the people to 
pass through the " fiery ordeal" of 1851, and overcome its threatened 
disastrous results, still emulate their hearts, and more substantial 
buildings are, phoenix like, rapidly arising from the ashes of their pre- 
decessors. In fact, both fires have proved a positive benefit to the place, 
Aaron G. Fish was the first President of the village. Population about 
4 000. 

Seneca Hill, on Oswego River, in the northwest corner of the town, 
is a small village, and, a few years since could boast of the largest flour- 
ing establishment in the State ; but, two or three years ago it fell a 
l)rey to that devouring element which has, of late, desolated so many 
portions of our fair country. This flouring mill had fifteen run of stone, 
with a separate wheel to each run, and a capacity of grinding and pack- 
ing 1,200 barrels of Hour per day. Volney Corners, (Volney P. 0.) 
near the center, is a small village. 

Daniel Masters settled at Oswego Falls in 1793 ; Lawrence VanVal- 
kenburgh, below the Falls, in 1795, and John VanBuren in 1796. — 
John Waterhouse settled in the town in 1797, and Ebenezer Wright in 
1800. The first birth after the permanent settlement was in 1795 ; and 
the first death that of John Waterhouse, in August, 1799. Daniel IVIas- 

ters kept the first inn at the Falls, in 1794, and he and Goodell 

erected the first saw mill, in 179G. Miss A. Waterhouse taught [the 
first school in 1800. Population of town in 18G5, 6,472. No. of voters 
1,502. Area, 28,662i acres. 

^WTest Zt^onroe, formed from Constantia, March 21, 1839, lies 
upon the North shore of Oneida Lake, southeast of the center of the 
county. Tbe surface is level and marshy in the south, and rolling, 
broken, and stony in the north. A marsh on the bank of the lake, 
covers an area of more than 1,000 acres, and a considerable portion of 
it produces cranberries. In the valleys between the ridges, in the north 
part of the town, are several smaller marshes. Red sandstone, the un- 
derlying rock, crops out in this town, and furnishes a plentiful supply 
of valuable building stone. Bog iron ore is found in the north part; 



OSWEGO COUNTY. 55 



and it is said that traces of lead and silver have also been found. The 
soil is a medium quality of clay, sandy and gravelly loam. West Mon- 
roe is the only post office in town, that and Union Settlement are ham- 
lets. 

The first settlement was made in 1806, by Martin Owens, Abel 
and Joseph B. Ames, Ebenezer Loomis, and Sylvannus Allen. Deacon 
Smith from Mass., settled in town in 1808, and Hiram Nickerson in 
1810. The first birth was that of Azariah Ames. The first inn was 
kept by Deacon Smith, in 1812, and the first school was taught by 
Caroline Barnes, in 1810. The first church (Presb.) was organized in 
1843. Population of the town in 1865 was 1,278. No. of voters 328. 
Area, 19,900| acres. 

^JCTilliamstOWn was formed from Mexico as part of Oneida Co., 
March 24, 1804. Richland was taken oft' in 1807, and Amboy in 1830. 
It lies near the center of the east border of the county. The surface 
is undulating in the south, but broken and stony in the west, and 
moderately hilly in the east. It is drained by Fish Creek, flowing into 
Oneida Lake, and the head branches of Salmon River. The surface of 
Fish Creek at WiUiamstown Mills, in the southeast part, is 354 feet 
above Lake Ontario, and the hills northeast are 200 to 300 feet higher. 
The greater part of the town is yet unsettled. The soil is a moderately 
fertile sandy or gravelly loam. Lumber and leather are the principal 
manufactured products. Large quantities of wood have been cut in 
this town to supply the R. W. & O. and N. Y. C, R. R'ds. Williams- 
town, on Fish Creek in the south part, is a small village and station on 
the R. W. & 0. R. R. Kasoag, a little west of the center is also a sta- 
tion on the railroad. 

The first settlement was made in 1801, by Gilbert Taylor, Solomon 
Goodwin, Ichabod Comstock,* Dennis Orton, Henry Williams, and Hen- 
ry Filkins. The first marriage was that of Joel Rathburn and Miss P. 
Alden, in Sept., 1802; and the first death, that of Mrs. Sarah Orton, in 
the Spring of 1804. Isaac Alden opened the first inn, in 1803, built 
the first saw mill the same year, and the first gristmill in 1804. The 
first store was opened in 1806, by Daniel Furman. The first school 
was taught by Philander Alden, in 1803. The first church (Congrega- 
tional,) was founded in 1805, by Rev. Wm. Stone. Population of the 
town in 1865 was 1,948. No. of voters 389. Area, 25,552^ acres.

Vermont — Was settled in 1724, by Englishmen from Connecticut, 
chiefly under grants from New Hampshire ; was formed from a part of 
the territory of New York by act of its Legislature, March 6, 1760 ; 
framed a State Constitution December 25, 1777, and was admitted into 
the Union March 4, 1791, by virtue of an act of Congress passed Feb- 
ruary 18 of the same year. Area, 10,212 square miles. Population, 
olo,i)98. It is a grazing region, producing more wool, live stock, ma- 
ple sugar, butter, cheese, and hay, in proportion to its population, than 
any other state. Any citizen of the United States who has resided in 
the state one year, and will take the oath of allegiance, is entitled to 
vote. 

Virginia — Was settled at Jamestown, in 1607, by the English, and 
was chartered April 10, 1606, May 23, 1609, and March 12, 1612. It 
was one of the original thirteen states, ratifying the United States 
Constitution, June 25, 1788; it framed a State Constitution July 5, 
1776, whicli was amended January 15, 1830. The state was dividel 
in 1863. Present area, 37,352 square miles. Population in 1860, 
1,314,532, of whom 481,410 were slaves. It is a large corn-producing, 
and the chief tobacco-growing state. Every white male citizen of the 
age of twenty-one years, who has been a resident of the state for one 
year, and of the county, city or town where he offers to vote for six 
months next preceding an election, and has paid all taxes assessed to 
him, after the adoption of the Constitution, under the laws of the com- 
monwealth after the re-organization of the county, city or town where

he offers to vote, is qualitied to vote for members of the general assem- 
bly, and all oflBcers elective by the people, Provided, he takes the pre- 
scribed oath of allegiance, repudiating the so-called act of secession. — 
A Convention sitting in Richmond on the 17th of April, 1861, passed 
an ordinance of secession, by a vote of 88 to 55, which was submitted 
to the people at an election to be held May 23, the result of which was 
announced June 25, to be 128,824 for, and 32,134 against. 

West Virginia — On the passage of the ordinance of secession by 
the Virginia Convention, a Convention of the western and other loyal 
counties of the state was held at Wheeling, which assembled May 11, 
1861, and on the 17th unanimously deposed the then state oflBcers and 
organized a provisional government. On the 26th of November, 1861, a 
Convention representing the western counties assembled in Wheeling 
and framed a Constitution for West Virginia, which was submitted to 
the people on the 3rd of May, 1862, and adopted by them by a nearly 
unanimous vote. The division of the state was sanctioned by the Leg- 
islature May 13, J 862, and ratified by Congress by an act approved 
December 31, 1862, conditioned on the adoption of an amendment to 
the Constitution providing for the gradual abolition of slavery, which 
was done on the 24th March, 1863, by a vote of the qualified electors 
of the proposed state, 28,318 voting in favor of the amendment and 572 
against it. In pursuance of the act of Congress, the President issued 
a proclamation April 20, 1863, admitting the state sixty days from the 
date thereof, and on the 20th of June the new state government was 
formally inaugurated. Area, 24,000 square miles. Population, in 1860, 
350,599, of wliom 12,754 were slaves. It is a large corn-producing state, 
and abounds in coal and other minerals. 

Wisconsin — Was settled at Green Bay, in 1669, by the French ; 
was a part of the territory ceded by Virginia, and was set off from 
Michigan December 23, 1834, and organized into a territory April 30, 
1836. Iowa was set off from it June 12, 1838, and acts were pas?ed at 
various times settling its boundaries. March 3, 1847, an act for its ad- 
mission into the Union was passed, to take effect on the issuing of a 
proclamation by the President, and by act of May 29, 1848, it was ad- 
mitted into the Union. Area, 53,924 square miles. Population 775,- 
881. It is an agricultural state, chiefly engaged in grain-raising and 
wool-growing. White citizens of the United States, or white foreigners 
who have declared their intention to become citizens, are entitled to 
vote. 

Note.— As raany of the states are now " reorganizing," great changes will be made 
in thc'r organic laws necessary ti adapt them to the new order of things. The ques 
tion of suffinse will not, it is presumed, be disturbed to the 6xtent of permitting all 
native born males, over twenty-one, and for one year a resident of the state, to vote.

66 THE TERRITORIES. 



THE TERRITORIES. 

THEIR BOUNDARIES, AREA, PHYSICAL FEATURES, ETC. 

Arizona — Was organized by the Thirty-Seventh Congress, in the 
winter of 1863, out of the western half of New Mexico, the boundary 
between the two territories being the 109th meridian (32d west from 
Washington,) and indudes the greater portions of the valleys of Colo- 
rado and Gila, two rivers which drain its entire surface, vjhh parts of 
Utah, New Mexico and Nevada, and yet convey, it is reported, a less 
volume of water to the sea than the Hudson at Albany. The fertile 
Messilla Valley was left with New Mexico. The territory forms a block 
nearly square, and contaius 126,141 square miles, or 80,730,240 acres. 
Its white population is about 10,000. The first pioneers of Arizona 
were, in the opinion of the illusti-ious Humboldt, Asiatics, and reached 
the land of Ophir by Behring's Straits. They have left monuments of 
their industry in Arizona, marking their era with indubitable evidences 
of civilization. A lonely citadel stands near the Pima villages, in the 
midst of a desert, as the only milestone of time left to mark the passage 
of this race. The house has five stones yet remaining, and was sur- 
rounded by a city covering an area of some ten miles square, watered 
by canals from the Gila river. Of this race little or nothing is known. 
The next pioneers were the proud Hidalgos of old uSpain. who bore the 
banner and the cross from Vera Cruz to San Francisco. Indomitable in 
war and zealous in religion, they marched with the torch of civilization 
in one hand and the cross of faith in the other. They were noble men 
and nobly did their work. The monuments of their devotion are 
spread from Cape Horn to Oregon. The next pioneers were Americans. 
In the year 1824 a party of about 100 hardy and adventurous frontiers- 
men set out upon a trapping expedition to the head waters of the Arr 
kansas river. After many romantic adventures in New Mexico the 
part)^ dispersed, ind a few of the bolder spirits undertook to reach the 
Pacific Ocean. They spent one winter at the celebrated mines of San- 
ta Rita del Cobre., on the head waters of the Gila river, and the next 
spring trapped down that river to its confluence with the Colorado. — 
Here they embarked their canoes on the turbid waters of the Colorado, 
and drifted down to the Gulf of California, whence they crossed the 
peninsula to the Pacific ocean. The wealth of Arizona is but just be- 
coming known. Its ancient ruins were among the best in the world, 
yet they have had to give way, in interest and value, to the newly- 
opened placers and veins. The territory is literally veined with the 
precious metals, but, the terrible aridity of the soil and the presence of 
those irrepressible tigers of the plains — the Comnanches and the Apaches 
— render the territory less tempting to wealth-hunters than the more 
northerly regions where gold and silver are as plenty, water and wood 
more accessible, and the Indians are less of a nuisance. 

Colorado — Was organized March 2d, 1861, from parts of Kansas, 
Nebraska and Utah, and is situated on each side of the Rocky Moun- 



THE TEERITORIES. 67 

tains, between latitude 37 ® and 41 ° , and longitude 25 ° and 33 ® 
west from Washington. Area, 100,475 square miles. Population 80,- 
000, besides numerous tribes of Indians. It is a superior grazing; and 
cattle-producing region, with a healthy climate and rich soil ; an exten- 
sive coal bed, and also gold, iron and other minerals abound. Its pojD- 
ulation is rapidly increasing. Several fine towns serve as centers of 
supply and trade, and offer fine faciUties for schools, churches, etc. — 
The direct route from Fort Kearney to Salt Lake passes through the 
northern part of the territory, and a fine road from Denver city to the 
overland route, makes the region around Pike's Peak easily accessible. 
The mineral resources of Colorado are opening up very advantageously 
to operate capital. The Colorado mines differ somewhat from those of 
California, where placer and gulch mining permit single operatives to 
do a good business. The Colorado metals run in beds, mixed with 
quartz and pyrites, necessitating all the appliances of underground 
mining, crushing mills, etc., to render the ores available. This will 
deter adventurers, to some extent, from settling in Colorado ; but it 
will call in heavy capital, will raise up large communities, will compel 
large cultivation of the rich valleys, and thus render the territory, with 
its magnificent climate, one of the best of regions for the enterprising 
man to settle. 

Dakota — Was first settled by employees of the Hudson Bay Com- 
pany, but is now being peopled by emigrants from the Northern and 
Western States. It was set off from the western portion of Minnesota 
when that territory became a State in 1857, and was organized March 
2d, 1861. Area, 148,932 square miles or 95,316,480 acres. Population 
in 1864 was 2,576 whites, and 2,261 Indians, beside the roving tribes. 
Being easily accessible by the Missouri river, which runs through its 
very heart, from the southeast corner to its northwestern corner, and 
bounded on its entire northeastern line by the Red River of the north, 
this territory offers unusual facilities for agricultural and grazing opera- 
tions. Its population is small, o.nly because the great tide of emigra- 
tion is setting into the gold regions — which Dakota is not, save as it is 
coined out of the products of the plough or the drove. 

Idaho — Was organized by the Thirty-Seventh Congress, at its se- 
cond,session,'in the winter of 1868. Its name means ' Bead of the Moun- 
tains,' and it embraces the whole breadth of the Rocky Mountain region, 
and has within its bounds the head waters of nearly all the great rivers 
that flow down its either slope, but the greater portion lies east of the 
mountains. Its southern boundary is the 41st, its northern the 46th 
parallel of latitude. It extends from the 104t'h meridian on the east to 
the 110th on the west. Area, 326,373 square miles, or 208,878,720 
acres. Says a writer in the *' National Almanac" for 1864 : 

" Gold has been discovered on nearly all the tributaries and head- 
waters of the Missouri and Yellow Stone rivers, and still farther north, 
reaching to and going beyond our national boundary. Platina has been 
gathered in small quantities from the streams by the Indians ; and some 
of the explorers are of the opinion that extensive deposits of this val- 
uable metal will be discovered. Copper and iron exist in abundance, 
and salt is plentiful in many localities. Coal is also found on the Up- 
per Missouri and Yellow Stone, and has been discovered upon the Pa- 
cific slope of the Rocky Mountains. The higher mountain ranges of 
this region are bleak and barren, but the lower hills are generally well

wooded, and the soil of the valleys productive. The whole is watered ' 
by numerous streams and springs, the former of which by their rapid 
flow afford immense water-power, which is of the utmost value for driv- 
ing mills, and otherwise aiding in separating the rich mineral deposits 
from the sands and rocks with which they are intermixed. The climate 
in the valleys is mild and salubrious, but upon the plains and hills it is 
cold, and the country is subject to deep snow." 

IMEontana — Was settled by emigrants from the northern and west- 
ern States. Organized in 1864, with tho following boundaries : Com- 
mencing at a point formed by the intersection of the 27 ° L. W. from 
Washington with the 45 ® N, L.; thence due west on said 45th degree 
to a point formed by its intersection with the 34th degree W. from 
Washington ; thence due south along said .'34th degree of longitude to 
its intersection with the 44th degree and 30 minutes of N. L.; thence 
due west along said 44th degree and 30 minutes of N. L., to a point 
formed by its intersection with the crest of the Rocky Mountains ; 
thence following the crest of the Rocky Mountains northward till its 
intersection with the Bitter Root Mountains ; thence northward along 
the crest of said Bitter Root Mountains, to its intersection with the 39th 
degree of longitude W". fro m Washington ; thence along said 39th degree 
of longitude northward to the boundary line of the British possessions; 
thence eastward, along said boundary, to the 27th degree of longitude 
W. from Washington ; thence southward, along said 27th degree to the 
place of beginning. This makes it the northermost territory next the 
States, east of the Missouri valley. It is a good mining and agricultural 
region. The total population is put down at 35,822. Large accessions 
have been made since the census was taken. The climate of Montana 
is, notwithstanding its hight above tide water (4,000 feet,) and its 
northern location, milder than in the States to the east, in the latitude 
of New York, owing to the influences of Pacific currents. The valleys 
of the Yellow Stone and its numerous tributaries, and of the Missouri 
river — whose head waters are in the territory, afford fine agricultural 
facilities, and produce wood in plenty. It is away up in the mountains, 
where the three forks of the Missouri river rise, that the rich placers 
he. Of the mines, Mr. Hall, in his "Great West," says : 

" The mines of the Deer Lodge and its tributaries are in extent one 
hundred miles and pay from $10 to $50 per day to the man. Gulch 
diggings in the vicinity of Bannock City, have a total length of thirty 
miles, and pay $8 to $40 per day. Gulch diggings in the vicinity of 
Virginia City are in length eighty-six miles, and pay $10 to $200 per 
day to the hand. Prickly Pear and its tributaries pay from $8 to $100 
per day, and are in extent one hundred and forty-seven miles. Yellow 
Stone, lately opened near its source, in extent thirty-nine miles, pays 
$10 to $40 per day. Here is a total of four hundred and two miles of 
placer or gulch diggings being wrought at this time with wonderful 
results. It is estimated that at least $30,000,000 will be taken from 
the gulch mines alone during the year from July 1st, 1865, to July 
1st, 1866." 

Iffebraska — Was settled by emigrants from the northern and 
western States, and was formed out of a part of the territory 
ceded by France, April 30, 1803. Attempts to organize it were made 
in 1844 and 1848, but it was not accomplished until May 30th, 1854. 
Area, 75,955 square miles, or 44,796,160 acres. Population 38,841,

besides a few roving tribes of Indians. It is an agricultural region, its 
prairies afFording boundless pasture lands. The heavy tide of emigra- 
tion to the gold regions has somewhat retarded the first rapid increase 
of settlement in Nebraska ; but, with the end of the war will come a 
new enthusiasm for western homes, and the territory will receive a 
fresh impetus during the year 1866, from those seeking for cheap farms 
and extensive ranges for stock. 

Slew IKEexico — Was formed from a part of the territory ceded to 
the United States by Mexico, by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Feb- 
ruary 2d, 1848, and was organized into a territory September 9, 1850. 
Area, 121,201 square miles, or 77,568,640 acres. Population, 84,000, 
besides large tribes of warlike Indians. The principal resources of the 
country is its minerals, though enormous "ranches," scattered over the 
whole territory, produce immense droves of horses and cattle, who thrive 
on the rich "gramma" grass. The mines of New Mexico are noted 
for their variety and richness. 

Utah— Was settled by the Mormons, and was formed from a part 
of the territory ceded to the United States by Mexico, by the treaty of 
Guadalupe Hidalgo, February 2, 1848, and was organized into a terri- 
tory September 9, 1850. Area, 106,393 square miles, or 68,084,480 
acres. Population, 60,000. Brine, sulphureous and chalybeate springs 
abound ; limestone, granite, sandstone and marble are found in large 
quantities ; iron is abundant, and gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc 
have been found. Not one-fiftieth part of the soil is fit for tillage ; but 
on that which is, abundant crops of grain, and considerable cotton are 
raised. A convention was held at Great Salt Lake City, January 22, 
1862, and a State Constitution formed, but it has not been acted on by 
Congress. 

VTashing'ton — Was settled by emigrants from the northern and 
western States, and was organized into a territory, March 2, 1853, from 
the northern portion of Oregon, to which was added another portion 
from the eastern part, when the latter territory was admitted as a State, 
February 14, 1859. Area, 69,994 square miles, or 48,636,800 acres. 
Population, 22,168, besides numerous tribes of Indians.

DETECTING COUNTERFEIT BANK NOTES. 



Infallible Rules for Detecting Counterfeit or Spurious 
Bank Notes. 



RuLH 1st.— Examine the shading of the 
letters in title of Bank called lathework, 
which in genuine notes presents an even, 
straight, light and silky appearance, gen- 
erally 80 fine and smooth as to appear to 
be all in one solid pale body. In the 
counterfeit the lines are coarse and irreg- 
ular,and in many of the longer lines breaks 
will be perceived, thus presenting a very 
inferior finish in comparison to genuine 
work. 

2d.— Observe the dies, circles and ovals 
in the genuine; they are comprised of a 
network of lines, which, by crossing each 
other at certain angles, produce an endless 
variety of figures; see the one cent stamp 
ATTACHED. The fine line alone is the 
unit which enables you to detect spurious 
work. In the counterfeit,the repkesbnted 
white lines are coarse, irregular, and cross 
each other in a confused, irregular man- 
ner, thus producing blurred and imperfect 
figures. 

3d.— Bsamine the form and features of 
all human figures on the note. In the gen- 
uine, the texture of the skin is represent- 
ed by flue dots and lines intermixed. In 
the eyes, the pupil is distinctly visible, 
and the white clearly seen ; the nose, 
mouth and chin, well formed, natural and 
expressive ; the lips are slightly pouting, 
and the chin well thrown out, and the 
delicate shading ©f the neck perfectly har- 
monizes with the rest of the figure. Ob- 
serve the fingers and toes; they should be 
clearly and accurately defined. The hair 
of the head should show the fine strands 
and present a natural appearance. The 
folds of the drapery of human figures 
should lay natural and present a fine fin- 
ished appearance. In the counterfeit the 
female figure does not bear the natural 
prominence in outlines ; observe, the eyes 
and shading surrounding does not present 
the lifelike appearance it should. Tbe 
fingers and toes are not properly and pro- 
portionately defined; the hair does not beir 
that soft and finished appearance as in the 
genuine. 

4th. — Examine the imprint or engraver's 
names in the evenness and shape of the 
fine letters. Counterfeits never bear the 
imprint perfect. This rule should be 
strictly observed, as it is infallible iii de- 
tecting counterfeits. 

5th.— In the genuine note the landscapes 
are well finished, trees and shrubs are 
neatly drawn, the limbs well proportioned 
and the foliage presenting a fine natural 
appearance, clear sby is formed of fine 
parallel lines, and when clouds or heavy 
skies appear, they cross each other, and 
bear a soft, smooth and natural appear- 
ance. The prospective, showing a view 
of the surrounding country is always clear 
and distinct. The small figures in the 
background are always plainly seen, and 
their outlines and geueial character re- 
cognized. Ships are well defined and the 



canvass has a clear texture; railroad cars 
are very accurately delineated; in examin- 
ing a train observe carefully the car most 
distant. In the counterfeit the landscape 
is usually poorly executed, the leaves of 
trees poorly and unnaturally defined. — 
The lines representing still water are 
scratchy rather than parallel, the sky is 
represented generally in like manner, and 
where rolling clouds are to be seen, the 
unnatural efl'ect is obvious. Domestic 
animals are generally poorly executed, 
particularly the heads and limbs; tbe eyes 
are seldom clearly defined. Ships are 
poorly drawn, tlie texture of the canvass 
coarse and inferior in style of workman- 
ship, thus giving an artificial appearance. 
Sailroad cars are also poorly executed; the 
car farthest from the eye is usually the 
most imperfect. The prospective is always 
imperfect; the figures in the back ground 
can seldom be recognized. 

6th. — Bills altered froai a smaller to a 
higher denomination, can readily be de- 
tected by a close observer in consequence 
of the striking difl'erence between the parts 
which have been extracted and the rest of 
the note. This difference is readily per- 
ceived in the lack of color.body and finish 
of the dye; we have seen bills where the 
surrounding shading in altered dies was 
too dark, but from the back or finish of the 
white lines you have a sure test. Again 
observe particularly the words " Five or 
" Ten Dollars" as the case may be, denot- 
ing the denomination of the note; the 
parallel outlines and shading (if any) are 
coarse and imperfect. Alterations are fre- 
quently made by pasting a gre:Uer denom- 
ination over a smaller, bnt by holding the 
bill up to the light, the fraud will be per- 
ceived. Another method resorted to is to 
cut out the figures in the dies as well as 
the words one dollar, or the words two or 
three as the case may be, and with a sharp 
eraser, scrape down the ends and also the 
edges of the pieces to be inserted ; when 
tha pieces thus prepared are affixed they 
are hardly perceivable. 

But by passing the note through the hand, 
so as to feel the die both with the finger 
and thumb at the same time, the fraud will 
be detected by the stiftness of the outer 
edges, " occasioned by the gum or method 
adopted" in sfflxlng the ))urcs. The letter 
S should always be examined, as in many 
alterations it is pasted or stamped at the 
end of the word "dollar;" and even when 
stamped there, the carrying out of the out- 
lines for its shading will readily show the 
fraud. Bills of broken banks are frequent- 
ly altered by extracting the name of b.ink, 
state and town; they may readily be de- 
tected by observing first the state, second 
the title or name of the bank, third the 
town or location. 

General Remarks in Reference to 
Counteepbits.— The paper on which they 
are printed is generally of a very inferior 




quality, with lesa body, finish and tough- 
nesB than bank note paper has. The ink 
generally lacks the rich luster of the gen- 
uine; the red letters and fleures are gen- 
erally imperfect, and the ink does not pre- 
sent the Vermillion hue as it should. The 
printing is generally inferior, usually ex- 
hibiting specks of white in the most pro- 
minent letters. The date and filling up, 
and the President's and Cashier's names 
are generally written by the game person, 
although in many inetances they present 
a different appearance. There are bills in 
circulation bearing either genuine dies or 



vignettes ; but upon close examination 
you will be enabled to detect any spurious 
bill, whether counterfeit or altered, by the 
instructions here given.if persevered in for 
a short time. We beg to suggest, if time 
will admit, the learner should examine 
minutely every bill he receives. A pow- 
erful pocket magnifying glass, which can 
be purchased from fifty cents to one dol- 
lar at any of the opticians, will greatly en- 
able you to see and comprehend the difier- 
ence between genuine and spurious 
work.

REMARKS. 

Postage stamps are not permissible in lieu 
of rsvenne stamps. 

In some States other processes than writs 
are used, (viz.: summons, warrant, petition, 
advertisement or publication), in commence- 
ment of suits. Each of such original pro- 
cesses requires to be stamped as a writ ; 
as also do writs of scire facias. 

Jurats of affidavits, taken before justices, 
notaries, or others, are regarded as ceriiji- 
oalen, and must be stamped accordingly, 
except when taken in suits or legal proceed- 
ings. 

Certificate of loan, bearing any evidence 
of money to be paid on demand or otherwise 
is regarded as a promissory note and must 
be stamped accordingly. 

Any one of several parties signing an in- 
strument may cancel the stamp. 

Stamps upon real estate conveyances must 
be in proportion to the actual value of ttie 
property or interest conveyed.

SUCCESS IN BUSINESS.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. 



What will my readers give to know how 
to get rich ? Now, I will not vouch that 
the following rules will enable every per- 
Boa who may read them to acquire wealth, 
but this 1 will answer for, that if ever a 
man doe? grow rich by honest means, and 
retaius his wealth for any length of time, 
he mu8 practice upon the principles laid 
down in the following essay. The re- 
marks are not original with me, but I 
strongly commend them to the attention 
of every young man, at least as atibrding 
the true secret of success in attaining 
wealth. A sinarle perusal of such an essay 
at an impressible moment, has sometimes 
a very wonderful efl'ect upon the disposi- 
tion and character. 

Fortune, they say, is a fickle dame— full 
of her freaks and caprices ; who blindly 
distributes her favors without the tligtitett 
discrimination, eo inconstant, so waver- 
ing is she represented, that her most faith- 
ful votaries can place no reliance on her 
promises. Disappointment, they tell us, 
is the lot of ihose who mnke < fl'erings at 
her shrine. Now. all this is a vile slander 
upon the dear blind lady. 

Although wealth often appears the result 
of mere accident, or a foriuaate concur- 
rence of favorable circumstanc-^s without 
any exertion ol skill or foresight, yet any 
man of sound health and unimpaired mind 
may become wealthy, if he takes the prop 
er steps 

Foremost in the list of requisites are 
honesty arid strict integrity in every trans- 
action of life. Let a man have the reputa- 
tion of being lair and upright in his deal- 
ings, and he will possess the confidence of 
all whoknowhim. Withoutthese qualities 
every other merit will prove unavailing. 
Ask concerning a msn, "Is he active and 
capa le?" Yes. "ludustrious, temper- 
ate and regular in his hubitsf" Oh yes. 
"Is he honest? Is he trustworthy?" 
Why, as to that, I am sorry to say that he 
is not to be trusted ; he needs watching ; 
he is a liitle tricky, and will take an uudue 
advantage, if he c in. "Then I will have 
nothing to do with him ;" will be the in- 
variable reply. Wliy, then, is honesty the 
best policy? Because, without it, you 
will get a bad name, and everybody will 
fchun you 

A character for knavery will prove an in- 
surmountable obstacle to success in al- 
most every undertaking. It will be found 
that the straight line is, in bueines?, as in 
geometry, the shortest. In a word, it is 
almost impossible for a dishonest man to 
acquire wealth by a regular process of bu- 
siness because he is thuuLed as a depreda- 
tor upon socie'y. 

Needy men iire apt to fleviate from the 
rule of integrity, under the plea that ne- 
ces'iitv knows no law ; they mieht aS well 
add thit it knovfs no shame. The course 
ia suicidal, nnd by destroying all confi- 
dence, ever keepe them immured in pov- 
erty, although they may possess every 
Other quality for success in the world. 



Punctuality, which is said to be the eoul 
of business, is ano'her important element 
in the art of money getting. The man 
known to be scrupulously exact in the ful- 
fillment of his engagements, gains the 
confidence of a'l, and may command all 
the means he can use with fd vantage; 
whereas, a man careless and regardless of 
his promises in money msitters will have 
every purse closed against him. There- 
fore be prompt in your payments. 

Next, let us consider the advantages of 
a cautious circumspection in our inter- 
course with the world. Slowness of be- 
lief, and a proper di-^trnst are essential to 
success. The ciedulous and coDfiding are 
ever the dupes of knaves and impostors. 
Ask those who have lost their property 
how it happened, and you will find in 
most cases that it has been owing to mis- 
phced confidence. One has lost by en- 
dorsing; anothei- by crediting; another 
j by false represtntations ; all of which a 
1 little more foresight and a little more dis- 
trust would have prevented. Ia the af- 
fairs of this world men are not saved by 
j faith but by the want of it. 

Judge of men by what they do, not by 
what < hey .say. Believe in "looks rather 
i than words. Observe all their movements. 
I Ascertain their motives and their ends. 
I Notice what they say or do in their un- 
I guarded moments, when under the influ- 
ence of excitement. The passions have 
I been compared to tortures which force men 
I to revr'al their secrets Before trusting a 
man, before putting it in his power to 
cause you a loss, possess yourself of every 
available information reUtlve to him. 
I Learn his history, his habits, inclinations 
! andpropensities ; his reputation for honor, 
1 industry, frugality and punctuality; his 
I prospects, resources, supports, advanta- 
I ges and disadvantages ; his intentions and 
j motives of action ; who are his friends and 
I enemies, andwhat are hi" goorl or bad qual- 
jlities. You may learn a man's good qualities 
; and advantages frr>m his friends— his bad 
i qualities and disadvantages from his ene- 
mies. Make due allowance lor exaggeration 
i in both FinMlIy, examine carefully before 
engagine in anything, and act with energy 
afterwards. Have the hundred eyes of 
Argus ^eforehand, and the hundied hands 
of Uriarins afterwards. 

Order and systein in the management of 
busines^s must not be reglecfed. Nothing 
contributes more to dispatch Have a 
place for everyttiing and everything in its 
place; a time for everything, and every- 
thing in its time. Do first what presses 
most, and having determined what is to be 
done, and how it is to be done, lose no 
time in doing it. Without this method all 
is hurry and ronfu^ion. Utile or nothing is 
accomp'ii^hed, and business is attended to 
with neither pleasuie nor profit. 

A polite, affable deportment is recom- 
mended. Agreeable manners contribute 
powerfully to a man's success. Take two 
men, possessing equal advantages in every 




other respect, but let one be gentlemanly, 
kind, obliging and conciliating in his man- 
ners ; the other harsh, rude and disoblig- 
ing, and the one will become rich, while 
the other will starve. 

We are now to consider a very important 
principle in the business of money-getting, 
namely— Industry— perseverin", indefati- 
gable attention to business. Persevering 
diligence is the Philosopher's stone, which 
turns everything to gold. Constant, regu- 
lar, habitual and systematic application to 
business, must in time, if properly di- 
rected, produce great results. It must 
lead to wealth, with the same ceitainty 
that poverty follows in the train of idle- 
ness and inattention. It has been truly 
remarked that he who follows his amuse- 
ments instead of his business, will, in a 
short time, have no business to follow. 

The art of money-saviuK is an important 
part of the art of money-getting. Without 
frugality no one can become lich ; with it, 
few would be poor. Those who consume 
as fast as they produce, are on the road to 
ruin. As most of the poverty we meet 
with grows out of idleness and extrava- 
gance, so most large fortunes have been 
the result of habitual industry and frugali- 
ty. The practice of economy is as neces- 
sary in the expenditure of time as of 
money. They say if "we take care of the 
pence the pounds will take care of them- 
selves." So, if we take care of the 
minutes, the days will take care of them- 
selves. 

The acquisition of wealth demands as 
much sell-denial, and as many sacrifices 
of present gratification, as the practice of 
virtue itself. Vice and poverty proceed, in 
some degree, from the same sources, 
namely— the disposition to sacrifice the 
futureto the present ; the inability to fore- 
go a small present pleasure for great future 
advantages. Men fail oi fortune in this 
world, as they iail of happiness in the 
world to come, simply because they are un- 
willing to deny themselves momentary en- 
joyments for the sake of permanent future 
happiness. 

Wvery large city is filled with persons, 
who, in order to support the appearance of 
wealth, constantly live beyond their in- 
come, and make up the deficiency by 
contracting debts which are never paid. 
Others, there are, tbe mere drones of so- 
ciety, who pass their days in idleness, and 
subsist by pirating on the hives of the in- 
dustrious. Many who run a short-lived 
career of splendid beggary, could they be! 
but persuaded to adopt a system of rigid i 
economy for a few years, might pass the 
remainder of their days in affluence. But 
no I They mn^t keep up appearances, 
thev must live like other folks. 

Their debts accumulate ; their credit 
fails; they are harassed by duns, and be- 
sieged by constables and sherifl's. In this 
extremity, as a last resort, they submit to 
a shameful dependence, or engage in crim- 
inal practices, which entail hopeless 
wretchedness and infamy on themselves 
and families. 

Stick to the business to which you are 
regularly employed. Let speculators make 
thousands in a year or a day; mind your 
own regular trade, never turning from it 



to the right hand or to the left. If you are 
a merchant, a professional man, or a me- 
chanic, never buy lots or stocks, unless 
you have surplus money which you wish 
to invest. Your own business you under- 
stand as well as other men ; but other peo- 
ple's business you do not understand. 
Let your business be some one which is 
useful to the community. All such occu- 
pations possess the elements of profit in 
themselves. 

To Those who Wbitb for thb Press.— 
It would be a great favor to editors and 
printers should those who write for the 
press observe the following rules. They 
are reasonable, and our correspondents 
will regard them as such : — 1. Write with 
black ink on white paper, wide ruled. 2. 
Make the pages small, one-fourth that of 
a foolscap sheet. 3. Leave the second 
page of each sheet blank. 4. Give to the 
written page an ample margin ali^ abound. 
5. Number the pages in the order of their 
succession, (i. Write in a plain bold hand, 
with less respect to beauty. 7. Use no ab- 
breviations which are noc to appear in 
print. 8. Punctuate the manuscript as it 
should be printed. 9. For italics under- 
score one line ; for small capitals two ; for 
Icapitals three. 10. Never interline without 
the caret to show its place. 11. Take special 
pains with every letter in proper names. 
12. Review every word to be sure that none 
is illegible. IS. Pnt directions to the printer 
at the nead of the first page. 14 Never write 
a private letter to the editor on the prin- 
ter's copy, but always on a separate sheet. 

Habits of a Man of Business.— A sa- 
cred regard to the principles of justice 
forms the basis of every transaction, and 
regulates the conduct of the upright man 
of business. 

He is strict in keeping his engagements. 

Does nothing carelessly or in a hurry. 

Employs no one to do what he can easily 
do himself. 

Keeps everything in its proper place. 

Leaves nothing undone that ought to be 
done, and which circumstances permit him 
to do. 

Keeps his designs and business from 
the view of others 

Is prompt and decisive with his custo- 
mers, and does not overtrade his capital. 

Prefers short credits to long ones ; and 
cash to credit at all times, either in buying 
or selling ; and t-mall profits in credit cases, 
with little risk to the chance of better 
gains with more hazard. 

He is clear and explicit in all his bar- 
gains. 

Leaves nothing of consequence to mem- 
ory which he can and ought to commit to 
writing. 

Keeps copies of all his important letters 
which he sends away, and has every letter, 
invoice, Ac, relating to his business, ti- 
tled, classed, and put away. 

Never sufl'ers his desk to be confused by 
many papers lying upon it. 

Is always at the head of his business, 
well knowing that if he leaves it it will 
leave him. 

Holds it as a maxim that he whose cred- 
it is suspected is not one to be trusted. 



PUBLIC LANDS. 



79 



Is constantly examining his books, and 
sees throueh his whole affairs as far as 
care and attention will enable him. 

Balances regularly at stated times, and 
then makes out and transmits all his ac- 
counts current to his customers, both at 
home and abroad. 

Avoids as much as possible all sorts of 
accommodation in money matters and law- 
suits where there is the least hazard. 

He is economical in his expenditure, al- 
ways living within his income. 

Keeps a memorandum book in his pocfe- 
et, in which he notes every particular rela- 
tive to appointments, addresses and petty 
cash matters. 

Is cautious how he becomes surety for 
any person ; and is generous when urged 
by motives of humanity. 

Let a man act strictly to these habits; 
when once begun they will be easy to con- 
tinue—ever remembering that he hath no 
profits by his pains whom Providence doth 
not prosper — and success will attend his 
efforts. 

Take pleasure in your business, and it 
will become your recreation. 



Hope for the best, think for the worst, 
and bear whatever happens. 



Cash and Credit.— If you would get 
rich don'c deal in bill books. Credit is the 
"tempter in a new shape." Buy goods on 
trust and you will buy a thousand articles 
that Cash would never have dreamed of. 
A shilling in the hand looks larger than ten 
shillings seen through the perspective of a 
three months bill. Cash is practical, while 
Credit takes horribly to taste and romance. 
Let Cash buy a dinner, and you will have 
beef-steak flanked with onions. Send 
Credit to market, and he will return with 
eight pair of woodcocks and a peck of mush- 
rooms. Credit believes in diamond pins 
and champagne suppers. Cash is more 
easily satisfied. Give him three meals a 
day, and he don't care much if two of them 
them are made up of roa^'ted potatoes and 
a little dirty salt. Cash is a good adviser, 
while credit is a good fellow to be on visit- 
ing terms with. If yon want double chins 
and contentment, do business with Cash.

Storrs' Condensed Interest Table, at 7 per Cent. 

One Dollar to Nine Thousand. One Day to Six Years. 

The interest in the table is in all cases computed for the thousands, for the time 
designated. To determine interest for a less sum, as many fignroe should be pointed 
off from the right of the product as are pointed off from tne thousauds in the column of 
principals. l\)r instance— the interest on $5,u00 for ten months is $291 67. For ii-500, 
the figure 7 to the right should be pointed off, leaving $29,16.7 as ihe interest on $5uu 
for the same time. For $50, the figure 6 must be poiuted off, and tlie figures at the 
left represent the interest, and so on for smaller sums. Bj annexing a o, you have the 
interest for $50,000.

Tie fforM is CMllenpi to Exce 



An Infallible remedy for Headache, Neuralgia, Toothache, Earache, Ague in the 
Face, Cronp, Diptheria, Sore Throat, Colds, Coughs, Diarrhcea, Dysentery, Pains in 
the Stomach, Side or Back, Rheumatism, Painters' Colic, Chilblains, Corns, Burns, 
&c.,&c. 

This Exterminator is truly great for all kinds of wounds on man or beast ; and, 
in fact, for the speedy cure of any pains which the human family is subject to. 

The numerous cures that are daily performed by the use of the Vegetable Exter- 
minator are sufBcient evidences of its super-excellent virtues; furthermore, this 
preparation does not contain any poisonous, mineral or deleterious drugs. This med- 
icine has been before the public for the last four years, and has won for itself a name 
that speaks mightier than words, and has proved itself to be the greatest remedy 
brought before an afflicted race for the speedy and safe cure of the above complaints. 
The rapid sale has more than trebly met the manufacturer's expectations. Every bot- 
tle sold is sure to sell more. It has cured thousands, and is destined to cure hundreds 
of thousands more. The most incredulous have to acknowledge its great worth, and 
the greatest unbelievers are converted after one trial. Therefore, I would say to those 
who are afflicted, not to delay, for delays are dangerous. 

Only 25 and 50 cents per bottle. The largest bottles are the cheapest, as they con 
tain nearly three times as much as the smaller ones. The money will be cheerfully 
refunded in all cases where satisfaction is not given. 

TRY IT! TRY IT! TRY IT! 

It never fails ! All it wants is one fair trial to be appreciated. 

N. B.— Agents of good character wanted to vend the above named Medicine, to 
whom strong inducements and permanent employment will be offered. 

Prepared aud sold by Dr. P, Cline, Utica, N. T., whe re all orders must be ad 
dressed ; and by all Druggists throughout the United States and Canada. 

Marsh, Dillaye & Co., Wholesale Agents, Syracuse, N. Y. 

C£>i:^S'S VE&£TA3LX: HAZB. RESTORATIVS. 

For Preserving, Restoring and Beautifying the Hair. Is a combination of the 
active virtues of vegetables. 

This astonishing and unequaled preparation turns the hair back to its original 
health, lustre, softness and beauty, removes at once all dandruff from the scalp, and 
all unpleasant itching, and hence creates a perfectly healthy state of the sca^p by act- 
ing as a stimulant and tonic to the organs necessary to supply coloring matter to the 
hair. It also prevents the hair from becoming unhealthy and falling off, and brings it 
out when it is gone by resuscitating the organs necessary to supply nutriment and 
health to it. This preparation contains no unhealthy drugs, it does not color the hair, 
but acts upon the secretions and secretive organs so as to supply the former with the 
necessary coloring matter, and upon the latter so as to completely restore their im- 
paired or lost functions. Prepared and sold by Dr. P. CLINE, Utica, N. Y.

PULASKI ACADEMY. 



This Institution le located at Pulaski, N. T., an enterprising and highly intelligent 
and moral village. In healthfnlness of climate, beauty and attractiveness of scenery 
and accessibility, the location of this Academy cannot b" surpassed. It Is situated 
on the batiks of the Salmon River, a shoit distance from the business portion of the 
town, and the grounds are delightfully shaded with alrrge groupe of stately o<ik and 
chestnut trees. Lake Ontario is only three miles distant, and the Oswego & Rome R 
R, passes through the suburbs of the village. 

The building is new and commodious, and most conTcniently arranged for study 
and recitation rooms. 

The Course of Instruction will embrace the 

ANCIENT £lN3 MOBZIRST LAST&UA&SSS, 

THE HIGHEB. ^ATHBIMEiLTICS,

The Classical Department is under the immediate instruction of the Principal. 
Special attention will be given to young men desiring to prepare for College. 

An experienced instructor has charge of the Commercial Department. Young 
men who cannot afford the heavy charges of a Commercial College, will do well to 
avail themselves of our facilities in this Department.

Calisthenics, Light Gymnastics and SVlilitary Drill, 

Will also be included in the course of instruction. 

This Institution thus affords superior advantages to both sexes for an extensive

No. I04 West Second Street, Oswego, N. Y., 

(Formerly of Syracuse, N. Y.,) 

S. A. Webb, Proprietor, and Manufaoturer oi 




OR aOA^ERlSTOR, 



FOR STEAEVI ENGiNES, (Land and Marine,) 

WEBB'S WATER GOVERNOR. 

ENGINE SCREW CUTTING LATHES, (Small Sizes.) 

And doing all kinds of Macliine Shop work done at a first class Machine Shop, with 
superior Machinery. Also luanufacturera of Governor Valves and Throttle Valves, of 
superior klndB and workmauehip. All kinda of Jobbing and Machine Work done to 
order, in superior style. 



Is not a ball governor, nor ie it slow and sluirgish, like all ball governors; but it is 
very sensitive, and will open or close the governor valve in an instant of time, so that 
an engine running with all the machinery it can drive, may have all that machinery 
thro*n instantly ofT, and the governor will as instantly close the valve so that the en- 
cine will not change its speed at all, and no matttr how sudden or often machinery 
is thrown on or off, the engine will ke* p the same rate of f peed constantly. It is in 
extensive use on engines from 5 to 700 horse power. Send for circular with cut, des- 
cription and certificates from those using them. 

Acts upon the same principle, and will regulate accurately the speed of water power 
machinery by opening or closing the gate to the water wheel, allowing only just water 
enough to pass to keep the wneel oq the same rate of sooed. It is the only real 
"Water Qovemor in existence, and is a late invention. Both the 'Water ■•Joveruor and 
Steam Governor may be set iu an instant to run machinery at any desired rale of speed. 

THE ENGINE LATHES 

Bu'lt at these Works, are exceedingly accurate, and will cut a screw from three to 160 
ttueads to tbe inch. No such lathe* are balk elsewhere iu the United States- 

State and County rights for the QoYernors for sale. All Governors warranted.

Morris— in Art an old, familiar name, 
For yearu allied with Photoeraphic fame- 
To his many patrons pends his greeting ; 
Welcomes to Lis sun-lit Hall nf meeting 
All the People 

Brave and Fair, midet forms of beanty moTing, 
Beauty's selfbeantions form approving ; 
Artlst-crltics throngh hie Art-rooms langing, 
Smiles of satisfaction interch 'nging. 

At his Photographic Qemi. 

In truthful color, tone. po?ition, erace, 
He fears no equal rival in this pla'e. 
His melow Ff rotypes are just the kind 
A beauty-loving critic loves to ft'd. 

And truly finds them hero. 

His perfect copies speak a special FklH, 
Frr>m lea^t to larper size of human face, 
Touch'd by ih' colorisi's creative will 
He lends to ev'ry line a living grace. 

Bo perfect Is his Art. 

He flnishe" his Cartes de VlFlte 
In a style surpa-slngly complete; 
Unites a graceful e-ipe flTid eof er tone, 
The nameless negUgo of Cartas alore. 
That all admire. 

His soft V!a:Tienes. of evfry varied hue. 
Alike of Mind and Fare ^eem mirrors true. 
Purest PiTCflain pic.tureH ti)o we flpd, 
Ptrfact, peerless, rarest <f the r kind, 
In Murris rtjle. 

Princely gems are these, with seeming life aglow ; 
Here subtle tints and soifnlng shales drablne, 
To show thH purple cnrents flush nnd flow, 
The living b.Uih, the human face Divine. 

The mister-piece of Art.

Robert G-ordon, dealer in Dry Goods,

The Oswego and Syracuse Hailroadp 

thirty-five miles in length,— running between Oswego 
and Syracuse— is now one of the most " live" institutions 
in the State. During the past few years the Company 
has been engaged at excavating the bed of the river, at 
Oswego. When completed, (probably early the coming 
season) the company will have added much to the harbor 
room of Oswego, and will have a long line of dock, for 
the loading and unloading of vessels directly into or from 
the company's cars or warehouses. Besides this impor- 
tant improvement, the company have just erected a spa- 
cious brick Passenger Depot, furnished throughout in an 
elegant style, and a large stone Frelgbt House on Utica 
street, near the site of the old Depot, now torn down. A 
still further improvement, and one likely to add largely 
to the commercial interests of Oswego, will be made 
early the coming season, arrangements having been made 
with the Syracuse, Binghamtou and New York Railroad 
and the Erie Railroad by which a third rail will be laid 
between Oswego and Syracuse, thus making a broad 
guage road in addition to the present narrow guage. — 
Under the new arrangement, Passenger and Freight 
trains will be made up at Oswego, which will run direct 
to Jersey City, opposite New York. The new line is des- 
tined to be a favorite one with the public, and we hope 
may prove profitable to the company. See company's 
card, page 175.

The Pulaski Academy, lo 

cated at the enterprising villnge of Pulas- 
ki, in this county, and directly on the line 
of the Oswego & Rome Railroad, presents 
rare advantages for the acquiring of a 
good, sound, practical education, by the 
youth of both sexes. The Trustees have 
been very fortunate in securing the ser- 
vices of N. B. Smith, A. M., as Principal, 
and of several other accomplished teach- 
ers as assistants, under whose combined 
tuition and instruction the student can 
hardly fail of making a rapid improve- 
ment. 



The convenience of location, and gene- 
ral moral tone of the Inhabitants of Pulas- 
ki, together with the very moderate ex- 
penses necessarily iocurred, will recom- 
mend this Institution to the parent who 
desires to educate his son or daughter in 
the right way. It is a home institution, 
and ae such, ought to be liberally patron- 
ized by the citizens of Oswego County. 
See advertisement, page 121.

t ■.- ; .:. ted Prlnflpal and able corps of 
T»achers. Bavin^j fitjaaently visited 
Prof. Mr ads' College, ana examined tha 
course of in«trnction, ■we can fully endorse 
the following article, fiom the Oswego 
Daily Pdlladiam, of Dec. 1st, 1866: 

lIsADs' Commercial ColuKok —We last 
CTeaing visited the Commercial College of 
Mr. Meads, in the Grant Block, and were 
kindly shown over the insti'ution by the 
Principal. The College oecupiee all the 
third floor of the block, and the rooms 
are admirably arranged for convenience 
and comfort. The main room or hnll is 
Hrge and airy, and flited up with tables at 
which bary studetita were engaged in the 
various departments of business. We gay 
basinese, for the reason that this College 
ie in itself a community in which all the 
different branches of business are carried 
on with an earnestnesc, correctness and 
precision rarely met with. In this room 
we found the <iolIei?e Bank, with its capi- 
tal of $1,000,000, its President, Cashier, 
c lerks, Board of Directors, &c., and were 
Hhown a list of the utockholderH This 
Bank has issued notes and conducts its 
business with as much rorrectnees and 
precision as any Bank in Oswego. Each 
htudent, after he h'is passed through the 
proper course of training,i8 furnished with 
52,000 in College notes, with which he 
starts in bu'iness, choosing v hat that bus- 
iness shall be. lie deposits his money 
and goes to work. He buys and sells, gives 
and takes notes, and speculates in various 
ways. He deals with New York, Chicago 
Boston and other citie.s, all of which are 
represented iu this room. All communi- 
cations are made by letter, find all business 
conducted a? if tbe transactions were real 
instead of fictitious. 

There is a College Board of Trade, which 
holds "H'eh C'hanf-re'' each day, and at 
vv'.i " ' .fi;o transactions occur. Themar- 
k fc n^irowly watched by ihe .Mem- 

u.. ui the Board, and speculation Is rife. 

The College In»uranc-3 Company is an- 
other institution found here. This Com- 
pany is regularly organized, and is doing 
an extensive and sate bnsines.^. Hero the 
students are famili;irixed with all the de- 
tails of Fire, Marine, Life and Accident 
lu'urance. and that practically. 

The College Telepraoh Company is also 
In a flourishing condition. The m.iiu line 
of telegraph from Canada to all points on 
this siiie, run-! thron.h the College, and 
local offices are established with proper 
instruments, where messages are received 
and si^nt with as much precision and care 
as mark the conduct of the Western Union 
Company's business in this ci'y 

The recitation rooms are admirably man- 
aged, and Mr. Meads has secured the as- 
eistance of Prof. Coe, one of the most com- 



petent teachers of Practical Arithmetic in 
ihe country. The ladies' rooms are alBO 
well ordered, and cfimpetent teachers 
have them in charge. We feel assured 
that there is not anynhere an institution 
of Ihe kind that is better managed than 
Meads' Commeicial College. The winter 
IS coming on. Many of our younjj men 
will hooti be out of employ. They should 
immediately wake application to 'At. 
Meads, and tuter upon a conr-o of study. 
One winter f pent iu this institution with 
all its practical advantages, will ha worth 
: years of study in the old way. Thay will 
i find a winter thus spent of permanent ad- 
I vantnge. See adverrL-eraout, pago.l.

t9.blishment, f®r the interest he has taken in the success of the work, and 
for the promptness and neat style in which he has executed the Typo- 
graphical portion of it. He employs a large force of good compositors 
and experienced pressmen ; his office is well supplied with all mate- 
rials used in the printer's art. Three fast running power presses ena- 
ble him to turn out a great amount of Job work. The circulation of j 
the "Advertiser and Times" (both daily and weekly) being by far the ; 
largest in the county, renders it the best advertising medium —of which 
fact its coluinns indicate its patrons are well aware. 

My thanks are also due to Mr. Jacob Miller, of Syracuse, who has 
so promptly and beautifully bound the work. His establishment is 
furnished with Ruling Machines, Cutting Machines, Presses, and in- 
deed everything necessary for first class binding. Magazines, Periodi- 
cals, Blank Books, and all other styles of binding, will be done by 
Mr. Miller, to order and with dis2iatch. 

With thanks to friends generally, I leave my work for the present, 
hoping in after years to again meet and serve you in a similar under- 
taking.
